Explore Crestwood, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Crestwood, 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 Crestwood, 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 Crestwood.
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.

It lies 81.8 km south-west of Goulburn, NSW (from Goulburn, NSW: bearing 215°T), and is situated 14.5 km east-north-east of Kambah. The air here, particularly in the early mornings, carries a crispness, a scent of damp earth and eucalyptus leaves that speaks of its proximity to the broader ranges. Sheep graze in quiet contemplation on slopes that are not so much rolling as gently asserting their presence, a subtle rise and fall that guides the eye towards the distant, hazy outline of the mountains. The character of Crestwood is one of understated resilience, a place where the seasons are felt keenly, painting the landscape with their changing hues and textures.
Historically, Crestwood’s story is entwined with the development of the fertile lands surrounding it, a quiet testament to the enduring appeal of this particular stretch of country for those who sought sustenance from its soil. While not a hub of bustling industry, its local economy has long been anchored in the rhythm of agriculture, with grazing properties forming the backbone of its prosperity. The nearby waterways, though not grand rivers, offer a quiet beauty, their banks often fringed with native grasses and providing a vital lifeline for the land. Crestwood has seen generations of families work this terrain, their lives etched into the very character of the place, a subtle but persistent echo of pioneering spirit that still informs the unhurried pace of life here.

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 Crestwood is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
