Explore Carlingford, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Carlingford, NSW map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Carlingford, New South Wales, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Carlingford.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Carlingford sits on a gentle rise, a place where the dappled sunlight filters through established gum trees and the air carries the faint, sweet scent of citrus blossoms. It lies 2.9 km west of Epping, NSW (from Epping, NSW: bearing 267°T), and is situated 13.1 km east of Blacktown. The landscape here is a soft topography, a series of low hills that roll towards the expansive blue of the Parramatta River estuary, its waters catching the afternoon light like scattered diamonds. Established residential streets, lined with mature trees and a mix of architectural styles from earlier eras, give way to pockets of bushland where the native flora still holds sway, a quiet reminder of the land before. The character of Carlingford is one of settled comfort, a neighbourhood that has grown and matured, its streets echoing with the sounds of children at play and the distant hum of traffic on the arterial roads that connect it to the wider city.
The history of Carlingford is interwoven with the early days of European settlement, its fertile soils proving amenable to farming and later, the burgeoning fruit-growing industry that once dominated the region. Orchards, particularly citrus groves, were a hallmark of Carlingford for decades, their sweet perfume a constant presence in the warmer months, and while the vast orchards have largely given way to housing estates, remnants of this agricultural past can still be found in the names of streets and the occasional established tree. The local economy now leans towards services and retail, catering to its significant residential population, with a number of community centres and shopping precincts serving as focal points for daily life. For many, Carlingford represents a desirable place to raise a family, a green suburb that balances proximity to urban centres with a more relaxed, suburban pace, a place where the echoes of its agricultural past still whisper beneath the surface of its modern residential character.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Carlingford is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
