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

Cheynes rests at the edge of the land, where the Southern Ocean begins its long, unfettered sweep towards the Antarctic. It lies 44.7 km east-north-east of Albany, WA (from Albany, WA: bearing 63°T), and is situated 29.0 km east-north-east of Kalgan. The landscape here is a study in gentle contrasts: rolling hills, cloaked in a mosaic of native scrub and pastures, give way to a coastline that shifts between sheltered coves and stretches of windswept beach. The air, perpetually carrying the clean tang of salt, often shimmers with a soft, pearlescent light, particularly in the late afternoon when the sun descends towards the horizon, painting the sky in hues of rose and pale gold. This is a place where the land seems to breathe in time with the tides, a quiet custodian of the wilder spirit of the coast.
The history of Cheynes is intrinsically linked to the sea and the land it washes. For generations, the economy here has been shaped by the bounty of the ocean and the fertility of the surrounding country. Fishing fleets have long made their home in the sheltered waters, their catches a vital part of the local sustenance and trade. Inland, sheep graze on the hardy grasses, their wool a testament to the resilience of life in this corner of the south-west. While not a place of grand monuments, the character of Cheynes is etched in the practical ingenuity of its people, who have learned to live harmoniously with the elements, their lives a quiet rhythm of seasons and tides.

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