WetlandMaps
Search wetlands mapping and other wetlands inventory data in a geographic information system (GIS) environment. This is an interactive mapping site that will allow you to search the mapping.
PDF maps on-line
Download or print PDF maps for Queensland wetlands based on 1:100,000 map tiles. The Queensland Wetlands Program Wetland Mapping is base mapping. It has no legislative standing in and of itself, however it may be used as an input for other wetland mapping products which may have legislative standing
KMLs
Keyhole Markup Language (KML) is an XML-based language schema for expressing geographic annotation and visualization on Web-based browsers. Many applications display KML, including Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Maps for mobile, NASA WorldWind, ESRI ArcGIS Explorer, Adobe PhotoShop, AutoCAD, and Yahoo! Pipes.
If you already have google maps dowloaded the KML, will automatically open in google.
If you wish to save the KML right click on the place name and save.
Please note:
- the Queensland Wetlands Program Wetland Mapping is base mapping. It has no legislative standing in and of itself, however it may be used as an input for other wetland mapping products which may have legislative standing
- the linework won’t always match exactly with the underlying imagery due to scale differences, differences in the way the data was collected or changes to the landscape
- the wetland mapping was developed in a different project to the Google Earth imagery
- DERM holds no responsibility for the underlying imagery
- the kml’s are for general viewing and information purposes only. They should not to be used for decision making or legislative purposes
- if using Google Earth or other viewing programs, ensure that you refer to their terms of use for that program
