Explore Hart, Northern Territory, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Hart, NT 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 Hart, Northern Territory, 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 Northern Territory or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Hart 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 Hart.
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.

Hart is a place where the earth breathes a deep, ochre sigh under a sky that stretches, impossibly vast, to meet the horizon. It lies 148.5 km east-north-east of Alice Springs, NT (from Alice Springs, NT: bearing 60°T), and is situated 74.8 km east-south-east of Engawala. The land here is a study in muted tones: the pale, dusty greens of spinifex clinging to the iron-rich soil, the bleached bone-white of ancient riverbeds, and the ever-present, hazy blue of the distant McDonnell Ranges, their ancient forms softened by the relentless sun. The air, when it moves, carries the dry, clean scent of baked earth and the faintest whisper of eucalyptus, a fragrance that clings to everything like the fine red dust. Even the silence here has a texture, a palpable weight that presses in, broken only by the sharp call of a bird or the rustle of unseen creatures in the sparse scrub.
The story of Hart is etched into the very bones of this landscape, a narrative of resilience and adaptation. For millennia, this country has been cared for by its Traditional Custodians, a connection that underpins the very spirit of the place. The modern chapter of Hart began with the dream of pastoralism, the vast cattle stations that still define the economic pulse of the region, their fences stretching further than the eye can easily comprehend. Travellers passing through might pause at the local roadhouse, a vital hub offering respite and a glimpse into the lives of those who make their living from this often unforgiving, yet profoundly beautiful, territory. The enduring spirit of Hart lies in its stark grandeur, a place that commands respect and offers a quiet, profound beauty to those willing to look beyond its sun-baked surfaces.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Hart, Northern Territory. 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 Hart, in the Central Desert Region local government area.
Detailed location data for Hart includes the postcode (0872), telephone area code (08), and local government area (Central Desert Region), with an ABS remoteness classification of Very Remote 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 Hart is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
