Explore Urangan, Queensland, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Urangan, 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 Urangan, 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 Urangan.
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.

Urangan breathes the salt-laced air of the Fraser Coast, its landscape a gentle unfolding of coastal plains meeting the wide, sapphire expanse of the ocean. It lies 33.5 km north-east of Maryborough, QLD (from Maryborough, QLD: bearing 38°T), and is situated 3.0 km east of Torquay. Here, the sand, fine as sifted flour, yields underfoot, leading to the shimmering shallows where the water, a translucent emerald near the shore, deepens to an endless blue. The sky, vast and often painted with the fleeting colours of dawn and dusk, hangs over a place where the sun, a benevolent eye, warms the skin and casts long, dancing shadows from the hardy coastal vegetation. The air itself seems to hold a certain stillness, a patient waiting, broken only by the cry of gulls and the distant murmur of the sea.
This is a place where the bounty of the ocean has long shaped its character, with the neighbouring harbour a hub for fishing fleets that still ply their trade, their weathered hulls reflecting a lineage of maritime endeavour. The town's economy, while now embracing the steady influx of visitors drawn by its natural beauty and proximity to world-renowned islands, retains a connection to its fishing heritage, a quiet understanding of tides and seasons. The iconic Urangan Pier, a sentinel stretching far into the sea, stands as a testament to this enduring relationship, a place where generations have cast lines and watched the horizon, a silent observer of Urangan's unfolding story.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Urangan, in the Fraser Coast Regional local government area.

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 Urangan is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
