Explore Cona Creek, Queensland, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Cona Creek, QLD 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 Cona Creek, Queensland, 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).

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 Cona Creek.
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.

Cona Creek sprawls across a sun-baked expanse where the land rises in gentle, ochre-coloured undulations towards a horizon that seems to stretch into forever. It lies 281.0 km west-south-west of Rockhampton City, QLD (from Rockhampton City, QLD: bearing 250°T), and is situated 22.9 km south-west of Springsure. The very air here is a dry whisper, carrying the scent of parched earth and the faint, sweet perfume of unseen wildflowers clinging to life in the sparse, hardy scrub. Acacia trees, their branches twisted into stoic silhouettes against the vast, pale blue sky, provide the only significant shade, their leaves a dusty green that blends seamlessly with the muted tones of the landscape. The ground underfoot is a mosaic of baked clay and scattered stones, testament to the enduring power of the Australian sun. Even the silence here possesses a palpable weight, broken only by the occasional, mournful cry of a distant bird or the rustle of wind through brittle grasses.
The story of Cona Creek is etched not in grand monuments, but in the pragmatic persistence of its people and the enduring rhythm of its pastoral heritage. For generations, this patch of Queensland has supported cattle grazing, the wide, open country providing sustenance for hardy stock that have learned to thrive on the sparse vegetation. The economy, while perhaps not booming, is steady, built on the back of livestock and the quiet resilience of those who call Cona Creek home. There are whispers of past mining endeavours, faint echoes of a more boisterous era, but today, the true wealth of Cona Creek lies in its vast, untamed beauty and the deep connection its inhabitants share with this rugged, elemental country. The light at dusk here is a spectacle of hushed golds and fading purples, painting the land in colours that speak of a profound, enduring peace.

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 Cona Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
