How to Use This Avant, Oklahoma Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Avant, 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 Avant.

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.

Avant holds the quiet, stubborn stillness of the Osage prairie, where the earth is stained a deep, rusted iron color by the red dirt that defines the landscape. It lies 18.4 miles south-southwest of Bartlesville, OK (from Bartlesville, OK: bearing 194°T), and is situated 9.0 miles north-northwest of Skiatook. Bird Creek carves a winding path through the tall grasses and scrub oak of the Cross Timbers, moving with a sluggish, deliberate grace that mirrors the slow drift of clouds above the horizon. To the west, the silhouettes of Dawson Ridge mark the distant edge of the sky, grounding the vastness of the plains. Only two miles away, the surface of Avant Water Supply Lake catches the flat, golden light of late afternoon, mirroring a sky that feels wider here than anywhere else on earth. The wind carries a persistent, dry heat that rattles the skeletal remains of old-growth timber, reminding those who walk these fields of the raw, unadorned power of the Oklahoma basin.

Avant emerged from the surge of the oil boom, a settlement built upon the subterranean wealth that once drew prospectors to these lands with the promise of black gold. The legacy of those early derricks remains etched into the local consciousness, a memory of frantic industry that has long since settled into the rhythmic, modest pace of modern rural life. Nearby, the Candy Creek Wildlife Management Area preserves a fragment of the wilder, untamed character that once defined this territory, offering a sanctuary for the deer and hawks that claim the scrubland as their own. Life in Avant moves with the changing seasons, marked by the cycles of the sun and the long, quiet evenings that descend over the prairie. The people here maintain a connection to the land that is neither sentimental nor forced, but simply a recognition of the endurance required to inhabit a place that keeps its history buried beneath the dust.

About This Avant Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Avant, Oklahoma. Coordinates: 36.490667, -96.044119. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Avant includes the ZIP code (74001, 74002), telephone area code (918), county seat of Osage County (Pawhuska), and school district assignment (Avant Public School).

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.
