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 Valley Heights, 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 Valley Heights.
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.

Valley Heights rests on a gentle slope, its character defined by the deep, folded valleys of the Blue Mountains that cradle it. It lies 12.8 km north-west of Glenmore Park, NSW (from Glenmore Park, NSW: bearing 315°T), and is situated 11.7 km west of Cranebrook. Eucalypt forests, a rich, verdant tapestry of greens and greys, press in from all sides, their scent a constant, clean presence carried on the cool mountain air. The houses, often with broad verandahs and high-pitched roofs designed for the occasional deluge, seem to emerge organically from the landscape, their colours muted to blend with the bushland. Sunlight here has a particular quality, filtering through the dense canopy in shifting patterns, painting the fern-laden ground with momentary, incandescent light, and by dusk, it bleeds into hues of apricot and rose across the western sky.
This is a place where the echoes of early settlement still linger, a quiet testament to the timber getters and selectors who first carved a life from these rugged hills. Later, the rhythm of the railway, a vital artery connecting the mountains to the coast, shaped the burgeoning village, bringing travellers and trade. While the days of significant timber milling have largely passed, a quiet tourism sustains Valley Heights, drawing visitors to its walking trails and the breathtaking vistas that unfold with every turn of the road. The local economy, though modest, is buoyed by a strong sense of neighbourly interdependence, a characteristic borne from the shared experience of living in this unique mountain pocket, where the pace is dictated less by the clock and more by the turning of the seasons.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Valley Heights, 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 Valley Heights, in the Blue Mountains City Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Valley Heights includes the postcode (2777), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Blue Mountains City Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of 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 Valley Heights is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
