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

Clearview’s corrugated iron roofs, bleached pale by the relentless sun, shimmered against a sky the colour of faded denim. It lies 7.7 km north of Adelaide, SA (from Adelaide, SA: bearing 9°T), and is situated 8.2 km south of Parafield Gardens. The land here is flat, stretching towards the distant, hazy line where the Gulf of St Vincent whispers its secrets, a subtle flatness that allows the horizon to feel vast and untamed, even within the urban sprawl. Low-slung, practical homes, often with wide verandas designed to catch any whisper of a breeze, cluster along streets lined with hardy native shrubs and occasionally a struggling jacaranda, its purple blossoms a fleeting, vibrant defiance against the ochre dust that settles on everything. The air itself carries a dry, mineral tang, a constant reminder of the coastal proximity and the ancient, sun-baked earth beneath.
The story of Clearview is one deeply entwined with the maritime pulse of its neighbouring port, its early days fuelled by the steady hum of industry and the salty spray of ships arriving and departing. While the grander maritime history belongs to the larger harbour, Clearview developed as a vital support to that endeavour, its residents providing labour and services, creating a practical, hardworking character that still defines the locality. This history is palpable in the sturdy, unpretentious architecture and the enduring sense of self-reliance. The local economy, once heavily reliant on the port’s activities, has diversified, with small businesses and trades forming the backbone, their quiet diligence a steady rhythm against the backdrop of the wider metropolitan area. There's a groundedness to Clearview, a sense that its foundations were built not on grand pronouncements, but on the steady, reliable work of many hands.

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