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 Senior, 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 Senior.
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.

Senior lies under a sky that stretches wide and pale, a dominion of wheatbelt and grazing land that rolls with a gentle, almost imperceptible swell towards horizons that promise nothing more than more of the same, yet hold a quiet grandeur in their vastness. It lies 187.2 km north of Mount Gambier, SA (from Mount Gambier, SA: bearing 2°T), and is situated 20.7 km north-north-east of Bordertown. The earth here is a rich, ochre-red, a colour that deepens with the setting sun, imbuing the sparse, hardy vegetation with a burnished glow that speaks of resilience and a long acquaintance with drought. The air, especially in the early morning, carries a crispness, a clean scent of dry grasses and distant dust, a subtle perfume of the continent’s interior that the traveller inhales deeply, finding a peculiar solace in its unadorned purity. The fences, stark lines against the muted landscape, are the only insistent marks of human endeavour, dividing the endless fields where the wind whispers secrets through the stalks of ripening grain.
The story of Senior is one of sustenance, of those who coaxed a living from this often-challenging terrain, their lives interwoven with the cycles of planting and harvest, of sheep and cattle. This place, like so many across the Tatiara district, owes its existence to the pioneering spirit that saw the potential for agriculture in the seemingly unyielding earth, transforming swathes of virgin country into productive farms. The local economy, still firmly rooted in the bounty of the land, relies heavily on the cultivation of cereals and the rearing of livestock, a consistent pulse that beats at the heart of Senior’s identity. While grand monuments are absent, the true landmarks are the silos that punctuate the skyline, silent sentinels of abundance, and the enduring spirit of the people who have shaped Senior into the enduring, understated place it is today.

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