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 Marleston, South Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

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 Marleston.
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.

Marleston rests on a gentle rise, a place where the Australian sun casts long, languid shadows across suburban streets in the late afternoon. It lies 4.0 km west-south-west of Adelaide, SA (from Adelaide, SA: bearing 239°T), and is situated 7.4 km south-south-west of Prospect. The air, often carrying the faint scent of drying grass and distant eucalypts, hums with a quiet energy as the day’s activities begin to wind down. Here, the landscape is a mosaic of neat lawns, established trees, and the occasional flash of vibrant bougainvillea against cream brick walls, a character shaped by decades of careful cultivation rather than wild abandon. The streets themselves seem to breathe, a subtle, unhurried rhythm guiding the flow of cars and the occasional pedestrian, each movement a small note in the ongoing symphony of everyday life.
This locality, once part of a broader agricultural expanse, now bears the imprint of its history in its very bones. Marleston’s development was intrinsically linked to the growth of Adelaide, its early days marked by the cultivation of the land and the establishment of infrastructure that would support a burgeoning population. The local economy, once rooted in farming and market gardens that fed the growing city, has transitioned, with many residents now commuting to the bustling CBD, yet the echoes of that agrarian past can still be glimpsed in the mature trees lining older streets and the enduring community spirit. The nearby tramline, a vital artery connecting Marleston to the wider metropolitan area, stands as a testament to the foresight of those who envisioned this place as a hub of accessible living, a place where the quietude of suburban life meets the convenience of urban proximity.

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