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 Mount Olive, 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 Mount Olive.
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.

Mount Olive rests as a quiet sentinel, its broad slopes a patchwork of hardy grasses and scattered eucalypts that catch the sun in a thousand shifting shades of green and ochre. It lies 48.1 km north-west of Maitland, NSW (from Maitland, NSW: bearing 319°T), and is situated 13.0 km north-north-east of Wattle Ponds. The air here, especially in the late afternoon, carries a faint, dry scent of dust and warm earth, a perfume of the Australian bushland that wraps around the scattered homesteads and the small, unassuming centre of Mount Olive. The land rolls with a gentle, consistent sweep, broken only by the occasional gully where a trickle of water might carve its path after rain, and the distant, hazy blue of more substantial hills forms a soft horizon. The character of the place is one of patient endurance, a quiet resilience etched into the very texture of the soil and the slow, deliberate growth of the trees.
The history of Mount Olive is tied to the enduring legacy of sheep grazing, a past that still breathes in the weathered fences and the wide-open paddocks that define the local economy. For generations, families have worked this land, their lives intertwined with the cycles of wool and the changing seasons, a quiet tradition that continues to shape the character of Mount Olive. While the land itself offers little in the way of dramatic geological features, its subtle contours and the quality of its light at dawn, when the sky bleeds soft pinks and oranges over the undulating terrain, hold a profound beauty. This is a place where the pace of life is dictated by the sun and the needs of the flock, a steady, unhurried rhythm that allows the land to speak its own quiet story.

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 Mount Olive is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
