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 Orange, New South Wales, Australia.

Drag the map to pan to any area of New South Wales or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Orange and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Orange.
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.

Orange unfolds across a broad, fertile plateau, a landscape sculpted by ancient volcanic activity and softened by the passage of time. It lies 49.7 km west-north-west of Bathurst, NSW (from Bathurst, NSW: bearing 292°T), and is situated 8.1 km west of Clifton Grove. The undulating terrain, a rich tapestry of ochre soils, is cradled by a series of low, rounded hills that offer sweeping vistas of farmland and grazing country. This elevated position contributes to Orange's distinct climate, where cool, crisp winters give way to warm, sun-drenched summers, fostering an environment that breathes with the changing seasons. The air here often carries the subtle scent of damp earth after rain, or the sweet perfume of blossoms in spring, imbuing the very atmosphere with a gentle, restorative quality. The surrounding countryside, a patchwork of verdant pastures and orderly orchards, speaks of a deep connection to the land, a harmony between human endeavour and the natural world that defines the character of Orange.
Orange's story is one of resilience and growth, rooted in the rich mineral deposits that first drew prospectors to the region in the mid-19th century. While mining played a significant role in its early development, the true enduring strength of Orange's economy lies in its fertile agricultural lands and its burgeoning wine industry. The cool-climate viticulture, producing award-winning chardonnays and pinots, has become a significant draw, complemented by an abundance of fresh produce from the surrounding orchards and farms, particularly renowned for its apples. This agricultural bounty forms the bedrock of a vibrant local economy, supporting a thriving network of producers, markets, and culinary experiences. The steady hum of activity in Orange reflects this dual heritage, a blend of the industrious spirit of its past and the agricultural prosperity that continues to shape its present.
The cultural heart of Orange beats with a lively rhythm, a reflection of its dynamic community and the diverse influences that have shaped it. While Orange may not host the major professional sporting leagues found in larger metropolitan centres, its sporting spirit is evident in local competitions and passionate support for regional teams. The city is a hub for significant annual events, most notably the Orange Festival of Arts, which draws creatives and enthusiasts from across the nation, celebrating everything from visual arts to performance. World-famous landmarks are perhaps less a feature of Orange than its natural beauty, with the striking Mount Canobolas providing a prominent natural monument and a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The city is also home to respected educational institutions, fostering a spirit of learning and innovation. While Orange may not be a direct birthplace of globally recognised musicians or actors, its influence is felt through its renowned agricultural produce, contributing significantly to Australia's culinary landscape and the careers of many chefs and food producers who champion its quality. The tranquil parks and expansive green spaces within Orange offer residents and visitors alike moments of quiet contemplation, further enhancing the city's reputation as a place of natural charm and enduring appeal.

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