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

Karroun Hill rises as a quiet sentinel in the vast, sun-baked expanse of Western Australia's Wheatbelt. It lies 299.4 km north-east of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 47°T), and is situated 68.1 km north-north-east of Beacon. The landscape here is a study in subtle gradients, a gentle swell of ochre earth that stretches towards horizons often blurred by heat haze. Patches of hardy scrub, resilient eucalypts with their silvery-green foliage, and the occasional scattering of granite outcrops mark the terrain, speaking of an ancient, enduring geology. The air, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a dry, clean scent, a mixture of dust and the faint, sweet perfume of wild herbs crushed underfoot. The silence is profound, punctuated only by the rustle of wind through dry grass or the distant call of a bird of prey circling high above.
The story of Karroun Hill is one of resilience and adaptation, a narrative etched into the very character of the land. Early pastoralists, drawn by the promise of grazing country, were the first to leave their mark, their efforts shaping the broad paddocks that now define the region. Later, the cultivation of wheat became the lifeblood of Karroun Hill, the golden grain a familiar sight during harvest season, its scent a sweet, earthy perfume that hangs heavy in the air. The local economy, though modest, is deeply tied to the land, a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have chosen to make this place their home. While no grand monuments mark its history, the quiet dignity of its weathered farmhouses and the stoic character of its people tell a story of perseverance, a subtle beauty found in the enduring connection to the earth.

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 Karroun Hill is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
