The map covers an area of 1.6 degrees longitude by 2.17 degrees latitude or about 160 kilometres from east to west and about 238 kilometres from north to south.

This map contains natural and constructed features including road infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and administrative boundaries for the Francois Peron National Park and Shark Bay Marine Park, both inclusive of a World Heritage Area.

The reverse side of the map depicts the same area using a satellite image with an overlay of major roads, tourism features and facilities as well as insets featuring the towns of Carnarvon and Denham.

The remote Shark Bay World Heritage Area in Western Australia is ideal for visitors interested in discovering unique and diverse wildlife and observing nature at its best. There are 34 species of mammals, 120 species of reptiles and more than 245 species of land-based, wading and migratory birds that live along the shoreline. It is also an important area for the reintroduction of threatened species.

The Department of Environment and Conservation contributed information during the compilation of the map. Information was also supplied by Australian Government agencies, including the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.
