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

Moseley rests on a broad, sun-baked plain, where the earth is the colour of dried blood and stretches to a horizon that always seems just out of reach. It lies 270.0 km north-west of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 309°T), and is situated 13.7 km north-east of Kimba. The landscape here is a study in muted tones: pale ochre grasses that whisper in the infrequent breeze, sparse, gnarled mallee scrub clinging stubbornly to the light, and the vast, indifferent blue of the South Australian sky overhead. The air itself carries a dry, clean scent, tinged with the faint, mineral tang of the ancient country. Occasionally, a solitary gum tree, its bark peeling like sunburnt skin, breaks the monotony, offering a small patch of shade to the lizards that dart across the cracked earth.
The story of Moseley is one of resilience, etched into the very character of its people and the land they inhabit. Established in the early days of South Australia's pastoral expansion, its economy has long been tethered to the cycles of sheep grazing, the wool bales representing a lifeline to the outside world. The faint, ghost-like traces of corrugated iron sheds and weathered fences hint at forgotten homesteads, testament to the endurance required to carve a living from this often-harsh terrain. Though farming remains, the quiet hum of a few local businesses now supports the town, their windows reflecting the slow, deliberate pace of life. Moseley doesn't boast grand monuments, but its distinctive character lies in the quiet dignity of its inhabitants and the stark, unadorned beauty of its expansive, open country.

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