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

Solomon lies at the edge of a land that breathes the ancient stories of the earth. It lies 268.9 km west-north-west of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 304°T), and is situated 12.8 km south-south-west of Kimba. Here, the scrubby plains, a muted palette of ochre and sage, stretch towards a horizon that promises distant, unseen ranges. The air, dry and carrying the faint scent of dust and sun-baked grasses, hums with a quiet persistence, a testament to the resilience of life in this arid expanse. Gnarled mulga trees, their branches like skeletal fingers reaching for the vast, cerulean sky, punctuate the landscape, offering sparse shade to the hardy creatures that call this place home. Even the silence here feels substantial, broken only by the rustle of wind through dry vegetation or the distant cry of a bird of prey.
The character of Solomon is deeply etched by the pastoral leases that have shaped its economy for generations, vast sheep stations where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the lives of those who tend the land. The wool clip, a once-dominant force, still underpins a quiet prosperity, though the modern traveller might find little to indicate this industry beyond the occasional sturdy ute or a weathered fence line. History whispers in the bones of the few buildings that comprise the locality, remnants of a frontier spirit that dared to settle this unforgiving country. While not a hub of bustling commerce, Solomon offers a glimpse into a slower, more deliberate way of life, where community ties are strong and the enduring spirit of the land is palpable in every sunrise that spills its golden light across the undulating, sparse terrain.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Solomon, South Australia. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Solomon, in The Dc Of Kimba local government area.

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