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 Hampton, 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 Hampton.
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.

Hampton rests in a broad, sun-kissed valley, where the ochre of the earth meets the pale blue of the sky in a soft, hazy embrace. It lies 50.4 km east-south-east of Bathurst, NSW (from Bathurst, NSW: bearing 124°T), and is situated 24.6 km west of Katoomba. The landscape here is a gentle turning of the land, a subtle rise and fall that cradles scattered farmhouses and paddocks stitched with fences. Here, the air carries a particular stillness, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of dry grasses in a breeze that whispers secrets from the neighbouring ridges. The light, especially as afternoon deepens, washes over the fields in a honeyed glow, softening the edges of the world and imbuing the scene with a quiet, enduring beauty.
The story of Hampton is one of resilience and adaptation, a thread woven through the rich, dark soil that has sustained generations. Originally a hub for pastoral pursuits, the land around Hampton has long been given over to grazing sheep and cattle, their wool and meat forming the backbone of the local economy. Evidence of this history can still be seen in the weathered stone fences and the sturdy, old farm buildings that dot the countryside. While agriculture remains a cornerstone, the subtle shift towards tourism, drawn by the area's peaceful charm and proximity to natural reserves, has brought a new energy to Hampton. The quietude of the valley now offers a welcome respite for travellers seeking a taste of authentic country life, a place where the pace slows and the connection to the land feels palpable.

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