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

Nangus sits at the edge of a wide, fertile plain, where the land begins to roll towards the higher country. It lies 155.2 km north-east of Wodonga, VIC (from Wodonga, VIC: bearing 37°T), and is situated 17.9 km west-north-west of Gundagai. The air here carries the scent of dry grass and the distant, earthy perfume of cattle on pasture, a subtle sweetness that deepens as the sun dips low, painting the western sky in hues of ochre and rose. Here, the Murrumbidgee River, a silver ribbon threading through the landscape, dictates the very character of the terrain, its presence felt in the richer soils and the scattered stands of mature river red gums that stand sentinel along its banks. The countryside is an expanse of gentle slopes, punctuated by the sturdy forms of sheep and cattle grazing in paddocks, their silhouettes sharp against the vast, pale blue of the Australian sky.
This is a place where the echoes of the past are woven into the present, a land shaped by hardy pioneers and the enduring pursuit of agriculture. Nangus, once a significant stopping point on the overland routes, retains a quiet connection to its history, its story etched in the very soil that sustains its primary industry: grazing and broadacre cropping. The economy here is deeply rooted in the land, a testament to the resilience of those who have worked it, from the early pastoralists to the present-day farmers coaxing wheat and wool from the earth. While not a bustling centre, Nangus offers a glimpse into a slower, more deliberate way of life, where the rhythm of the seasons and the bounty of the harvest still hold sway, and the quality of the light at dusk seems to linger a little longer, bathing the fields in a golden, contemplative glow.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Nangus, in the Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Nangus includes the postcode (2722), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Outer Regional Australia. 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 Nangus is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
