Explore Ceduna, South Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Ceduna, SA 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 Ceduna, South Australia, 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 Ceduna.
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.

Ceduna rests on the edge of the Great Australian Bight, a town shaped by the vastness of the Australian coastline and the endless sky. It lies 547.3 km west-north-west of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 299°T), and is situated 8.2 km north-north-east of Thevenard. The air here carries a clean, dry scent, a blend of salt spray and the subtle perfume of mallee scrub that spills down from the hinterland. Dust, fine and pale, is a constant companion, settling on the corrugated iron roofs and the weathered surfaces of vehicles, a soft patina that speaks of distance and the sun’s relentless gaze. The landscape around Ceduna is one of subtle, sweeping curves, where low-lying scrubland gives way to the dramatic, ochre-coloured cliffs that plunge towards the restless ocean. The light at dusk often bleeds across the sky in bruised shades of purple and fiery orange, a spectacle that silences the day's activity and paints the water with an ephemeral glow.
This place, Ceduna, is a vital service centre for a region stretching far inland, its economy historically anchored by agriculture, particularly wheat and barley, and the grazing of sheep. The discovery of vast gypsum deposits nearby has also shaped its industrial character, with large-scale mining operations a significant contributor. For travellers venturing across the Nullarbor Plain, Ceduna marks a significant point of arrival and departure, a place to restock supplies and prepare for the long haul. Indigenous heritage is deeply intertwined with this land, with the local area having been home to the Wirangu people for millennia, their connection to the country evident in the ancient stories and the enduring spirit of the place. The town itself, though modern in its amenities, retains a quiet resilience, a testament to the enduring human drive to thrive in this expansive, often challenging, but undeniably beautiful corner 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 Ceduna is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
