Explore Maldon, Victoria, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Maldon, VIC 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 Maldon, Victoria, 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).

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 Maldon.
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.

Maldon rests in a valley, its weathered timber buildings leaning companionably towards the main street, a thoroughfare that feels more like a shared verandah than a thoroughfare. It lies 33.2 km south-west of Bendigo, VIC (from Bendigo, VIC: bearing 216°T), and is situated 12.5 km north of Newstead. The air here carries the scent of dry grass and the subtle sweetness of eucalypt, a perfume that deepens as the sun begins its slow descent, painting the surrounding hills in hues of burnt sienna and soft lavender. Grey stone walls, softened by moss and time, trace the boundaries of old properties, hinting at the patient hands that shaped this place. Beyond the immediate embrace of the township, the landscape unfolds into a gentle rolling terrain, where the occasional granite outcrop punctuates the soft contours of the earth, and the scattered stands of gum trees cast long, dancing shadows.
This is a place where the echoes of gold rush fever still resonate, a heritage that shaped Maldon into the living museum it is today. The sturdy brick facades and ornate verandahs of the main street whisper tales of fortunes made and lost, of boom times and quiet decades. The local economy, once driven by the rich veins of alluvial gold that drew prospectors from afar, now finds its pulse in the surrounding agricultural lands, where sheep graze on sun-drenched paddocks and the rich soil yields its bounty. Tourists, drawn by the town's remarkably preserved streetscape and the allure of its past, wander its quiet lanes, their footsteps a soft counterpoint to the lingering silence of history, adding a gentle hum to the town's unhurried pace.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Maldon, Victoria. 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 Maldon, in the Mount Alexander Shire 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 Maldon is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
