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

The Pines rests on a sun-kissed stretch of the Yorke Peninsula, a quiet assertion against the vast blue of the Spencer Gulf. It lies 125.3 km west of Morphett Vale, SA (from Morphett Vale, SA: bearing 279°T), and is situated 37.9 km west-south-west of Minlaton. The land here is a study in muted tones: ochre earth, the pale gold of dry grasses in the warmer months, and the ubiquitous grey-green of saltbush and hardy coastal shrubs that cling tenaciously to the undulating terrain. Gentle slopes descend towards a coastline where the sea, a shifting palette of sapphire and aquamarine, whispers against stretches of fine, pale sand, occasionally broken by outcrops of weathered rock. The air, even inland, carries the faint, clean tang of salt, a constant reminder of the ocean's proximity, and the light, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a luminous quality, softening the edges of the landscape and casting long, languid shadows.
Historically, The Pines shares in the Yorke Peninsula's legacy of resourcefulness, its character shaped by the enduring spirit of those who sought sustenance from both land and sea. While not a major centre, its proximity to farming districts meant that the rhythm of the seasons, the sowing and the harvest, long dictated the pace of life, with wheat and barley forming the backbone of the local economy for generations. More recently, the allure of the coastline has drawn a different kind of prosperity, with tourism offering a subtle counterpoint to the agricultural heritage. Small fishing fleets still venture out from modest harbours, their colourful boats bobbing like scattered jewels on the water, a visual echo of the peninsula's ongoing connection to the bounty of the ocean. The Pines, in its unhurried way, embodies this blend of enduring tradition and quiet adaptation.

This page provides a street and satellite map of The Pines, 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 The Pines, in the Yorke Peninsula Council local government area.
Detailed location data for The Pines includes the postcode (5577), telephone area code (08), and local government area (Yorke Peninsula Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Remote Australia. 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 The Pines is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
