Explore Maydena, Tasmania, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Maydena, TAS 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 Maydena, Tasmania, 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 Tasmania or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Maydena 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 Maydena.
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.

Maydena rests at the foot of the mountains, a small settlement embraced by the dense, emerald cloak of Tasmanian forest. It lies 64.4 km west-north-west of Hobart, TAS (from Hobart, TAS: bearing 283°T), and is situated 40.9 km west of New Norfolk. The Derwent River, a glinting ribbon of cool, clear water, flows nearby, its presence a constant, murmuring soundtrack to the quietude of the valley. Towering eucalypts, their bark a mosaic of grey and white, reach skyward, filtering the sunlight into dappled patterns on the moss-covered ground. The air here carries the crisp, clean scent of pine and damp earth, a fragrance that speaks of wildness and deep, untamed country. The landscape is a study in rugged beauty, with steep, forested slopes descending into the valley floor, where the occasional clearing offers a glimpse of human endeavour against the overwhelming power of nature.
The history of Maydena is intrinsically tied to the timber industry, the great trees of the surrounding forests having provided the lifeblood for this isolated corner of Tasmania for generations. Logging trucks, their loads piled high, are a familiar sight, their rumble a testament to the ongoing economic activity that has shaped the character of Maydena. This connection to the land, to the demanding work of extracting its bounty, has fostered a resilient and independent spirit amongst its inhabitants. While logging remains a significant employer, the pristine natural environment also draws a different kind of visitor, those seeking the quietude and adventure offered by the nearby wilderness areas, hinting at a future economy where the forest's beauty is as valued as its timber.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Maydena, Tasmania. 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 Maydena, in the Derwent Valley Council local government area.

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