Hema’s mapping in the atlas section shows roads & 4WD tracks, as well as very rough tracks which often become overgrown & may be difficult to follow. This information is divided into two groups: roads & tracks which were plotted during the fieldwork carried out by Hema, plus other tracks shown on the GA’s 1:250, 000 topographic survey maps & on other sources but not specifically verified by the publishers. The maps also show railways with stations & man-made features important for orienteering: disused railways, vermin proof fences, towers, gates, cattle grids, wells & waterholes, etc. Altitude colouring with relief shading & graphics indicates the terrain; national/state parks & reserves, aboriginal lands & restricted entry areas all indicated by colours.
