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 Ogilvie, Western Australia, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

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 Ogilvie.
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.

Ogilvie rests on land that breathes the dry, clean air of the mid-west, a place where the horizon stretches with an almost audacious generosity. It lies 71.1 km north of Geraldton, WA (from Geraldton, WA: bearing 6°T), and is situated 24.3 km north-north-east of Northampton. The earth here is a rich ochre, broken by the hardy, resilient green of saltbush and mulga, a landscape sculpted by wind and sun into subtle undulations that meet the vast, pale blue sky. The quality of light, particularly in the late afternoon, is a marvel, turning the dust motes dancing in the air into tiny, incandescent sparks, and casting long, soft shadows that lend a painterly depth to the sparse vegetation. Even the silence feels different, a deep, resonant quietude that is punctuated only by the distant bleating of sheep or the occasional rattle of a ute traversing the unsealed roads that crisscross the plains.
The story of Ogilvie is tied to the sheep that have long grazed its pastures, a wool-growing heritage that has shaped the character and economy of this locality for generations. The land is a canvas for hardy agricultural pursuits, where the cycle of seasons dictates the rhythm of life. While sheep remain central, the broader agricultural landscape of the Shire of Northampton, of which Ogilvie is a part, also encompasses wheat and other grains, creating a patchwork of cultivation that shifts with the changing light. The scattering of homesteads and farm buildings, often weathered by the elements, speak of a long and enduring connection to this particular stretch of country, a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of those who have made their home here, carving a living from the often-unyielding earth.

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