How to Use This Buffalo, Oklahoma Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Buffalo, 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 Buffalo.
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 Buffalo, Oklahoma
Buffalo is a locality in Harper County, Oklahoma, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,039. The population density is 360.4 people per km². Buffalo is located at 36.8356°N, 99.6304°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Buffalo is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 73834.Buffalo stretches across the high plains of the Oklahoma panhandle, where the horizon is a vast, unyielding line that seems to pull the sky down toward the earth. It lies 30.8 miles north-northwest of Woodward, OK (from Woodward, OK: bearing 334°T), and is situated 53.4 miles west of Alva. The landscape is defined by the steady, persistent breath of the wind as it moves over red dirt and shortgrass, carving a quiet solitude into the terrain. Only a mile away, the narrow, winding path of Buffalo Creek cuts through the silt, providing a fragile ribbon of moisture for the scrubby brush that clings to its banks. Further out, the distant, hazy silhouette of Devils Backbone provides a jagged punctuation mark against the western sky, while the nearby Oknoname 059049 Reservoir sits silent and still, reflecting the expansive clarity of the afternoon light.
Buffalo maintains a rhythm dictated by the cycles of wheat harvests and the quiet labor of the oil fields that dot the surrounding expanse. The heritage of the region remains rooted in the deep history of indigenous territories and the rugged resilience of those who first broke this sod, a legacy that persists in the sturdy, pragmatic character of the people. Economic life here is tethered to the land, whether through the cultivation of grain or the extraction of resources from deep beneath the surface. For those interested in the natural progression of these plains, the Southern Plains Experimental Range lies fourteen miles away, serving as a reminder of the scientific curiosity applied to this arid, beautiful wilderness. Life in Buffalo unfolds with a deliberate pace, leaving ample room for the shadows to lengthen slowly across the fields as the sun dips below the wheat-gold rim of the world.

Detailed location data for Buffalo includes the ZIP code (73834), telephone area code (580), county seat of Harper County (Buffalo), and school district assignment (Buffalo Public Schools).
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.
