How to Use This Bug Tussle, Oklahoma Map

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

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.

Bug Tussle occupies a stretch of land defined by the persistent, winding path of Coal Creek, which carves a quiet passage through the red clay and limestone of the region. It lies 8.1 miles northeast of McAlester, OK (from McAlester, OK: bearing 34°T), and is situated 7.3 miles north-northeast of Krebs. The landscape here is characterized by the expansive, open character of the plains, where the horizon remains wide and unencumbered, interrupted only by the distant, hazy silhouette of Big Prairie Ridge visible against the shifting light of the afternoon. Eufaula Lake commands the immediate geography, its reach providing a vast, stillness that mirrors the expansive Oklahoma sky, especially as the sun begins to retreat and turns the water into a sheet of hammered copper. The earth itself holds a stubborn, iron-rich hue, grounding the vegetation in a soil that seems to pulse with the slow, rhythmic heat of the summer months.

Bug Tussle maintains a legacy rooted in the agrarian traditions of Indian Territory, where the passage of time is marked not by clocks, but by the seasonal cycles of the land and the endurance of those who work it. The local economy persists through the modest rhythms of ranching and the maintenance of the surrounding acreage, reflecting a history shaped by the migration and resilience of diverse tribal nations. Life here retains a deliberate, spare quality, favoring the quiet industry of the fields over the clamor of modern development. Visitors often find themselves drawn to the recreational expanse of Eufaula Lake, yet the true character of the locality remains in the way the wind moves through the scrub brush and the simple, enduring fact of the homesteads that have persisted through generations of change.
