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

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 Edgeworth.
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.

Edgeworth unfolds with a gentle, unassuming character against the undulating terrain that slopes towards the shimmering expanse of Lake Macquarie. It lies 15.2 km west of Newcastle, NSW (from Newcastle, NSW: bearing 270°T), and is situated 3.8 km south-west of Wallsend. Here, the air carries a faint, salty tang from the nearby harbour, a subtle reminder of the water's pervasive influence. The landscape is a mosaic of residential streets, winding their way through pockets of native bushland where the call of kookaburras often punctuates the quiet. Familiar gum trees, their bark peeling in papery strips, stand sentinel over neat lawns, their leaves catching the afternoon sun in a thousand shifting emerald glints. The sky above, a vast canvas of Australian blue, often softens to a hazy gold as the day draws to a close, casting a warm, diffused light over the neighbourhood.
The story of Edgeworth is one of industry and evolution, deeply entwined with the rich coal seams that once defined its economic heart. For generations, the rhythmic clang of machinery and the dust of extraction were the pulse of this place, a legacy that still whispers through its older streets and the resilience of its people. While the era of large-scale mining has largely passed, a spirit of pragmatic endeavour endures, evident in the local businesses that serve the everyday needs of its residents and the neighbouring suburbs. The proximity to the vast waterways of Lake Macquarie offers a different kind of bounty, a promise of leisure and recreation that draws families to its shores, creating a distinctively relaxed rhythm to life in Edgeworth.

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