Function / Content

This series consists of topographic survey maps held and customised by the Department of Lands Planning and Environment but using the base maps produced by the Division of National Mapping and known as the National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) Whilst NTMS maps sheets at 1:250 000 scale were published by the Division of National Mapping and a number were published under the AUSLIG logo, the Royal Australian Survey Corps published the Joint Operation Graphics (JOG) Air Charts. The NTMS and JOG series replaced their predecessor, the R502 Series, which consisted largely of un-contoured maps at the same scale. The maps were produced on the Australian Map Grid (AMG), based on the AGD66 datum. A total of 544 sheets comprising the NTMS/JOG series provided the first nationwide coverage of published, fully contoured, topographic maps. Because many of the NTMS sheets were converted by Royal Australian Survey Corps to their specifications and re-published as JOG maps, there are many sheets available today with identical reliability dates but published by both agencies. The NTMS and JOG series maps can be used interchangeably as they have been in this instance to show areas of Central Australia and Barkly Region.
