How to Use This Cartwright, Oklahoma Map

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

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.

Cartwright holds its ground upon the red, iron-rich earth of southern Oklahoma, where the horizon stretches wide and unburdened by the clutter of high peaks. It lies 14.7 miles southwest of Durant, OK (from Durant, OK: bearing 228°T), and is situated 6.9 miles north-northwest of Denison. The landscape here is characterized by the low, insistent geography of the Cross Timbers, where hardy oaks and prairie grasses contend with a wind that carries the scent of dry soil and persistent heat. Only a mile away, the quiet flow of Sand Creek marks the territory, while the expansive waters of Lake Texoma exert a cooling influence on the air as the sun descends. At dusk, the light catches the fine dust suspended in the atmosphere, turning the sky a bruised purple that seems to pull the shadows from the hollows, lending the plains a sudden, sharp clarity before the dark takes hold.

Cartwright remains a place shaped by the deep, resonant history of Choctaw lands, a legacy that lingers in the quiet persistence of those who cultivate the heavy soil. The local economy finds its footing in the rhythms of agriculture and the steady, utilitarian work required to maintain the infrastructure of this inland corridor. For those seeking the solitude of the outdoors, the Eisenhower State Park Trail offers a path through the brush, and the nearby Eisenhower State Park serves as a guardian of the local ecosystem. Life in Cartwright moves with a measured, deliberate gravity, far removed from the frantic pace of larger centers, sustained instead by a stubborn endurance that mirrors the very fiber of the land itself.

About This Cartwright Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cartwright, Oklahoma. Coordinates: 33.852879, -96.561938. 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 Cartwright includes the ZIP code (74731), telephone area code (918), county seat of Bryan County (Durant), and school district assignment (Colbert 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.
