Information on our geological maps
The Geological Survey of NSW will continue to publish hard copy geological maps at several scales. So called "standard series" maps have been published at 1:250 000 and 1:100 000 scale, with the latter scale dominating current and future map products. At Broken Hill and in some coalfield areas there are sheets at 1:50 000 and 1:25 000. More regional maps are printed at scales of 1:500 000 and above.
There is a near complete coverage of the State at 1:250 000. Modern maps have good detail and comprehensive depictions of geology. Note that sheets published prior to 1980 may lack the detail present in later maps. In addition to standard geological maps the Department has prepared a series of Metallogenic maps depicting mineral occurrences and geology.
Most hard copy maps will be produced as a print run, however high quality on-demand prints can be provided for early or provisional versions, out of print issues, or maps not scheduled for printing.
Digital map data are now compiled with other geological data into CD packages.
