BEACH Definition: A named gently sloping shore which is washed by waves or tide - this may occur adjacent to sea, waterbody, or watercourse Alternate Terms: | Capture as a 2D polyline. The location of the feature is plotted from orthorectified imagery. The feature to be captured parallel to the defined coastline or shoreline and halfway between the defined coastline or shoreline and vegetation on the mainland. Locations can be obtained from other datasets, existing mapping, tourist publications, organisations, Local Government websites, or other source material. The name is obtained from Queensland Place Names dataset. Only named beaches are captured.
| CLIFF Definition: A high steep face of rock and or compacted soil that is an obstacle to movement. Alternate Terms: Bluff, Coastal cliff, Crag, Escarpment, Precipice | Capture as a 2D polyline The location of the feature is plotted from orthorectified imagery. The direction of the polyline to be such that the cliff face is on the right side of the polyline in the direction of capture. Captured polyline is to be no smaller than 125m. (if necessary, extend length) Obtain position and extent by using suitable elevation datasets (contours) and/or the highest resolution digital elevation model (DEM) over the area. The name is obtained from Queensland Place Names dataset. Only named cliffs are captured.
| PASSAGE Definition: A named navigable channel, especially one through reefs or islands Alternate Terms: Channel, Cutting, Deep, Entrance, Gutter, Opening, Pass, Seaway, Strait, The Narrows | Capture as a 2D polyline The location of the feature is plotted from orthorectified imagery. The actual extents of these features are fuzzy and as such hard to define, show polyline in the middle of the feature, parallel to its sides. Position and extent are determined from documentation, maritime charts, historical mapping other datasets, existing mapping, or other source material. The name is obtained from Queensland Place Names dataset. Only named passages are captured. NOTE: Torres Strait is included in the Feature Class “Seas” NOTE: A small number of watercourses named as Channels in Western Queensland have been included in the Feature Class “Watercourse Lines”
| RANGE Definition: A named series of connected and aligned mountains or mountain ridges. Alternate Terms: Mountain Range, Razorback, Ridge, Spur | Capture as a 2D polyline The location of the feature is plotted from orthorectified imagery. The actual extents of these features are fuzzy and as such hard to define. Obtain position and extent by using suitable elevation datasets (contours) and/or the highest resolution digital elevation model (DEM) over the area. (Traversing along the watershed) Locations can be obtained from existing mapping, other datasets, Local Government websites or other source material. The name is obtained from Queensland Place Names dataset. Only named ranges are captured.
| REACH Definition: A stretch of river between two bends Alternate Terms: | · · · · · Position and extent are determined from documentation, maritime charts, historical mapping other datasets, existing mapping, or other source material.
· · | VALLEY Definition: A named elongated low-lying area of land bordered by higher ground, such as hills or mountains, typically with a watercourse flowing through it. Alternate Terms: Canyon, Dale, Gorge, Ravine | · · · The actual extents of these features are fuzzy and as such hard to define. Position and extent are determined from historical mapping, other datasets, existing mapping, or other source material. The name is obtained from Queensland Place Names dataset.
· Only named valleys are captured. |
