Explore Beaufort River, Western Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Beaufort River, WA 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 Beaufort River, Western 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.

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 Beaufort River.
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.

Beaufort River rests in a gentle cradle of land, where the earth itself seems to sigh with the afternoon heat. It lies 133.1 km east-south-east of Bunbury, WA (from Bunbury, WA: bearing 102°T), and is situated 41.0 km south-west of Wagin. The landscape here is a study in muted greens and ochres, the dry grasses whispering secrets to the wind that drifts across the wide, open spaces. Patches of hardy eucalypts, their bark peeling like ancient parchment, punctuate the rolling terrain, offering slivers of shade against the relentless sun. The air carries the faint, dry scent of sun-baked earth and the distant sweetness of blooming wildflowers, a scent that settles deep within the lungs. Even the silence here possesses a texture, a palpable presence that seems to absorb the very sounds of the world, leaving only the rustle of leaves and the hum of insects.
The history of Beaufort River is etched not in grand monuments, but in the quiet endurance of its people and the land they have worked. For generations, this has been a place tied to the soil, its economy rooted in the careful cultivation of wheat and the grazing of sheep, the rich, dark earth yielding its bounty under the patient hands of farmers. The colours of ripening grain, a golden wash under the vast Western Australian sky, are a familiar sight, a testament to the resilience of agriculture in this often challenging environment. Beaufort River itself, a meandering waterway, has always been the lifeblood, its course dictating the settlement patterns and providing a vital resource that has sustained life through the dry seasons and the abundant ones alike. The character of Beaufort River is one of quiet strength, a place where the pace of life is dictated by the sun and the seasons, and where community is built on shared experience and mutual reliance.

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 Beaufort River is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
