Explore Asher, Oklahoma, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Asher, Oklahoma. 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. Drag the map to pan to any area of Oklahoma or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, 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 official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Asher.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), 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 a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams 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 cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Asher occupies a stretch of Pottawatomie County where the earth shifts from the dense thickets of the Cross Timbers into the open, wind-swept expanse of the prairie. It lies 20.3 miles northwest of Ada, OK (from Ada, OK: bearing 317°T), and is situated 18.6 miles south of Tecumseh. Cat Creek cuts a narrow, rhythmic path through the low-lying terrain, its banks lined with the gnarled silhouettes of oaks that seem to lean against the constant, restless movement of the air. The light here at dusk possesses a singular, bruised quality, casting long shadows of red dirt across the fields that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Tate Mountain, visible only as a faint, jagged ink-line against the horizon. Four miles away, the surface of Salt Creek Site 23 Reservoir mirrors the vast, empty sky, offering a quiet stillness that contrasts with the persistent, dry whisper of grass against fence posts.
Asher carries the memory of a landscape shaped by the intersection of tribal sovereignty and the sudden, violent arrival of the oil boom. The local economy persists through a deliberate, steady labor, where the heritage of the land remains tied to both the extraction of resources and the slow, seasonal cycle of the plains. Residents move through their days with a gravity that acknowledges the distance from the more frantic centers of commerce, often looking toward the Lexington Wildlife Management Area as a reminder of the quiet, untamed life that persists on the periphery. In the quiet transition from afternoon to evening, the town settles into a rhythm dictated by the cooling soil and the lengthening dark, a place where the history of the territory feels less like a narrative and more like an enduring, physical presence in the fiber of the ground.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
