Explore Red Range, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Red Range, 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 Red Range, 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.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
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 Red Range 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 Red Range.
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.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies the area as Outer Regional Australia.
Red Range unfolds across a landscape of rolling hills, their slopes painted in muted ochres and deep greens under a vast, often brilliant, Australian sky. It lies 81.6 km north-north-east of Armidale, NSW (from Armidale, NSW: bearing 16°T), and is situated 21.3 km east-south-east of Glen Innes. The terrain is a mix of open grazing country, punctuated by stands of mature eucalypts whose silvery bark catches the light, and denser pockets of bushland where the air carries the dry, sweet scent of wattles and the occasional sharp tang of pine. Patches of rich, dark soil hint at the fertility beneath, a promise held out to the land and its tenders, while rocky outcrops and weathered granite boulders punctuate the contours, speaking of ancient geological forces. The quality of the light here can be extraordinary, particularly in the late afternoon, when the sun dips low, casting long, dramatic shadows that deepen the colours of the land and imbue the air with a hushed, golden luminescence.
The history of Red Range is deeply entwined with the pastoral and mining heritage of the wider region. For generations, this land has supported sheep and cattle grazing, the hardy wool and meat finding their way to distant markets. Evidence of earlier endeavours can still be found, subtle signs of a gold rush era that brought a transient flurry of activity and ambition to these hills, leaving behind a legacy of weathered sheds and overgrown tracks. The local economy, though evolving, still draws strength from the land, with a resilient agricultural base. This quiet corner of the country carries a distinct character, a sense of enduring connection to the soil and a steady, unhurried pace of life that feels both timeless and deeply rooted.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Red Range, New South Wales. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Red Range, in the Glen Innes Severn Shire Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Red Range includes the postcode (2370), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Glen Innes Severn Shire 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 Red Range is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
