About South Australia Maps

South Australia covers nearly one million square kilometres — from Adelaide's Mediterranean coast to the red-dirt outback, from the Coorong's wetlands to the Flinders' alpine ridges. It's also home to some of Australia's most iconic 4WD destinations (the Birdsville Track, the Oodnadatta, the Strzelecki) and the country's most concentrated wine regions (Barossa, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale, Coonawarra). That diversity demands a deep map range.

Mapworld stocks South Australia maps from every major Australian publisher — Hema, UBD-Gregory's, Cartographics (the SA-based regional specialist), Westprint and the Department of Environment and Water topographic series. Cartographics in particular produces the definitive SA regional maps for the Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas, the Limestone Coast, and the Adelaide Hills.

South Australia Map Types Explained

Touring & Wall Maps

The Hema South Australia State Map is the standard touring reference — folded for glove-box use or laminated as a wall map for office and classroom display. For Adelaide and metro areas, the UBD 562 Adelaide map is the standard street-level reference, also available in folded and laminated wall map formats.

4WD & Outback Maps

South Australia is home to three of Australia's most iconic 4WD tracks. Westprint specialises in this category with dedicated maps for the Oodnadatta Track, the Birdsville Track, and the Strzelecki Track. The Hema Great Desert Tracks Eastern Sheet covers the broader outback SA region. For the Flinders Ranges, the dedicated Hema Flinders Ranges map and atlas are essential — available in standard and Supermap (1430 × 1000mm) wall map formats.

Regional Maps — Cartographics & Beyond

For specific SA regions, Cartographics produces the definitive specialist range:

• Yorke Peninsula & Copper Coast — including the wine and seaside towns of the Copper Triangle
• Eyre Peninsula — covering Whyalla, Port Lincoln and the western coastline
• Adelaide Hills — for Hahndorf, the Barossa fringe and McLaren Vale
• Limestone Coast — Coonawarra wine country, the Coorong, Mount Gambier

Topographic Maps

SA topographic sheets are published by the Department of Environment and Water at 1:50k and 1:100k scales — ideal for bushwalking, orienteering, emergency services and fieldwork. The Geoscience Australia 1:250k AUSTopo series provides broader topographic coverage of the entire state.

Postcode, Electoral & LGA Maps

Mapworld's South Australia Federal Electoral Divisions and Local Government Areas Map (Adelaide Metro) is one of our most popular SA wall maps — combining both boundary systems in a single reference, ideal for political analysis, government affairs and journalism. State-wide SA postcode and LGA maps are available for real estate, sales, healthcare and council planning.

Marine & Nautical Charts

SA's coastline is covered by official AUS-numbered Australian Hydrographic Service charts plus state Department of Primary Industries and Regions inshore boating charts. Spencer Gulf, Gulf St Vincent, and Kangaroo Island are well-served by dedicated chart sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best map for the Birdsville Track?

Westprint's dedicated Birdsville Track map is the field-checked specialist reference. Pair it with the Hema Great Desert Tracks Eastern Sheet for broader regional context, and the Hema Australia Road and 4WD Atlas for connecting routes.

Are these the latest editions of SA maps?

Yes. Mapworld stocks current editions only. Each product page lists the edition number and publication year. When publishers release new editions, we rotate stock to the new version.

Do you ship South Australia maps interstate?

Yes. Mapworld ships Australia-wide from our Perth warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $75, flat $7 below that. Most metro deliveries arrive in 2 to 5 business days. Express options available at checkout.

What is the difference between Cartographics and Hema for South Australia?

Hema produces broad-scale touring and 4WD maps covering the whole state.

Many SA travellers and locals own both: Hema for the trip-level view, Cartographics for the destination.
