How to Use This Ballou, Oklahoma Map

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

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.

About Ballou, Oklahoma

Ballou exists as a quiet accumulation of red earth and stubborn prairie grass, defined by the way the afternoon light catches the fine, iron-rich dust suspended in the air. It lies 20.1 miles northwest of Tahlequah, OK (from Tahlequah, OK: bearing 322°T), and is situated 9.0 miles east-southeast of Chouteau. Snake Creek winds through the low-lying brush only a mile away, its presence marked by a thicker stand of timber that interrupts the monotonous, rolling expanse of the plains. To the west, the subtle rise of Neely Mountain breaks the horizon, a dim silhouette against the vast, pale sky of the interior. The land here feels ancient and patient, marked by the deep, silent memory of the Cross Timbers and the slow, rhythmic shifting of the wind that pulls across the open fields.

Ballou carries the weight of a frontier history, where the economy was once forged in the toil of the soil and the pursuit of mineral wealth beneath the surface. Life remains tethered to the cycles of the earth, far removed from the bustle of the distant urban centers, though the proximity of the Fitzgerald-Soldier Creek Site 1 Reservoir and the expansive grounds of Fort Gibson Lake offer a broader connection to the surrounding wilderness. Residents often look toward the shadows of Coleman Hollow, where the land dips into cooler, shaded pockets of oak and hickory. The pace of daily existence is dictated by the seasons and the slow, steady work of the land, maintaining a character that is as unyielding and enduring as the red soil itself.
