Explore Carroll, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Carroll, 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 Carroll, New South Wales, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Carroll.
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.

Carroll rests under a vast, often brilliant blue sky, where the land rises gently towards the west, a subtle shift from the flatter plains to the south. It lies 47.4 km west-north-west of Tamworth, NSW (from Tamworth, NSW: bearing 282°T), and is situated 22.4 km east of Gunnedah. The landscape here is a study in muted greens and ochres, punctuated by the silver-grey of eucalyptus leaves that rustle with a dry whisper in the persistent breeze. Patches of stubborn scrub cling to the slightly elevated ground, testament to the resilience of native flora in this semi-arid environment, while the occasional, robust homestead stands as a solitary sentinel against the wide horizon. The air itself carries a certain stillness, a quietude that allows the distant bleating of sheep or the low rumble of a passing ute to travel further than one might expect, painting a picture of a place unhurried, where the land dictates the pace of life.
The story of Carroll is intrinsically linked to the rich soils and reliable pastures that have sustained generations of graziers. For decades, the local economy has been largely defined by sheep and cattle farming, the woolsheds and stockyards silent witnesses to a time when the clip of wool and the lowing of cattle were the dominant sounds. While agriculture remains a bedrock, the diversification of local enterprise is a quiet evolution, with some residents finding opportunities in small-scale rural services or the burgeoning tourism that occasionally drifts in from neighbouring centres seeking a taste of authentic country life. The nearby Namoi River, though often a gentle flow, is the lifeblood of this region, its banks a ribbon of denser vegetation that contrasts with the more open country, hinting at the enduring connection between Carroll and the water that shapes its existence.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Carroll, New South Wales. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Carroll, in the Gunnedah Shire Council local government area.

These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
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 Carroll is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
