What level of land resource information has been collected over a particular parcel of land?
View the land unit map cover of the NT. Use the legend to establish what level of information has been published over the land parcel of interest. The best available mapping in the NT is generally 1:25 000, followed by 1:50 000 and 1:100 000. The 1:25 000 mapping is useful for detailed planning, such as Darwin and its rural areas, whereas 1:50 000 is more appropriate at a regional scale such as catchment planning in the Mary and Daly River catchments. The 1:100 000 mapping is more applicable for extensively managed lands such as the large pastoral properties of the Victoria River District. If no land unit mapping is available view the land system map cover of the NT. Although not as detailed as the land unit information it is more extensive. Land systems provide broad scale information useful for pastoral land management and identifying land requiring more intense survey. Land systems surveys cover most of the NT at four broad scales. 1:100 000 land system mapping has been prepared in
