The NSW Topographic Map Cache Web Service provides rasterised topographic maps in a seamless mosaic view covering NSW. This service generally contains the current standard Topographic maps from the 1:100,000; 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 series. Where coverage exists at multiple scales, the largest scale map is displayed.

The sourced Geotiff file is cropped to the map window only, with no legend, disclaimers, map grid, scale bar or north arrow displayed. The NSW Topographic Map series is derived from Spatial Services’ Digital Topographic Database (DTDB).

Information viewed in this web service includes: • roads • points of interest • localities • contours • drainage • cultural data • parks and forests • property boundaries.

This web service allows users to easily integrate the topographic map cache coverage for NSW into Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant spatial platforms and applications.

The NSW Topographic Map Cache web service can be used for mapping, emergency services, natural resource management, geosciences and sustainable development.

This service ensures users are able to consume topographic map data without the requirement of hosting the map files on their own servers. It is important to note that depictions of roads and tracks do not necessarily indicate a public right of way.

Unlawful entry upon private land or a restricted area and/or wilful damage of property such as gates and fences exposes offenders to legal prosecution.
