The 1:250,000 AUSTopo Map Series Index underpins the new 1:250,000 AUSTopo Australian Digital Topographic Map Series (published from 2023). The index drives the online 1:250,000 topographic index dashboard and accompanying web service. Within this index, each of the 516 map sheets that comprehensively cover Australia is presented as an individual tile. The dataset contains value-add attributes, including map title, tile number, the latitude and longitude of the maps sheets, and year/s published. The index also features direct download links to the maps.

This index exists alongside the previous 1:250,000 map series index, which served as the framework for map editions published between 1995 to 2012.

Available in ESRI Shapefile and GDB.
