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

Whitton rests in a landscape sculpted by the patient hand of irrigation, where the red earth, baked by a relentless sun, yields to the tenacious green of cultivated fields. It lies 30.4 km south-south-east of Griffith, NSW (from Griffith, NSW: bearing 161°T), and is situated 23.4 km west-south-west of Leeton. The air here, especially as the afternoon wanes, carries a dry, sweet scent of ripening crops and the faint, metallic tang of distant machinery. Beyond the clustered houses and the modest grain elevator, the horizon stretches, an unbroken line of pale sky meeting the muted ochre of the land, interrupted only by the occasional, stoic silhouette of a gum tree standing sentinel against the vastness. The quiet hum of cicadas, a constant thrumming undercurrent, provides the soundtrack to the slow unfolding of days in Whitton, a town breathing the dry, clean air of the Riverina.
The story of Whitton is inextricably linked to the transformation of this arid land into a breadbasket, a legacy forged by the vision of early settlers and the grand engineering of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Scheme. This ambitious project, a marvel of its time, brought life-giving water to the thirsty plains, fostering an agricultural economy that still underpins Whitton's existence, with rice, wheat, and pastures forming the backbone of its prosperity. Scattered amongst the fields, remnants of older farming practices can still be glimpsed, echoes of a past where survival depended more on grit than on the sophisticated water management systems that now define the region. The local hall, a simple but sturdy structure, serves as a focal point for community gatherings, a place where the shared experiences of rural life, from the bounty of a good harvest to the vagaries of weather, are celebrated and endured.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Whitton, 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 Whitton, in the Leeton Shire Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Whitton includes the postcode (2705), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Leeton 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 Whitton is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
