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 Maldon, 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 Maldon.
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.

Maldon rests in a gentle hollow, cradled by rolling hills that wear the muted greens and ochres of the Australian countryside. It lies 34.6 km north-west of Wollongong, NSW (from Wollongong, NSW: bearing 318°T), and is situated 5.6 km north-east of Tahmoor. The air here often carries the faintest whisper of woodsmoke, a comforting scent that mingles with the dry, sweet perfume of eucalypt. Winds, when they stir, sweep across broad pastures and whisper through stands of mature gum trees, their leaves a shimmering silver against the vast, pale blue canvas of the sky. The land feels ancient, worn smooth by countless seasons, and the houses, mostly clad in timber and iron, seem to have grown organically from the earth itself, their verandahs offering shade and a place to watch the slow procession of clouds.
The history of Maldon is deeply entwined with the rich mineral veins that lie beneath its surface, particularly gold, which brought a rush of prospectors in the late 19th century, imbuing the settlement with a spirit of resilient optimism. This legacy is still visible in the sturdy brick buildings that line the main street, a testament to the town's prosperous past, and in the enduring character of its people, who possess a quiet pride in their heritage. Today, while mining’s heyday has passed, the local economy finds its footing in agriculture and grazing, with sheep and cattle dotting the surrounding paddocks, and a growing appreciation for the region’s tourism potential, drawing visitors to its historic charm and the natural beauty of the nearby countryside. The rhythm of life in Maldon is one of measured progress, a gentle unfolding of days marked by the enduring connection to the land and the echoes of its industrious past.

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