Explore Coalgate, Oklahoma, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Coalgate, 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 Coalgate.
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.

Coalgate emerges from the iron-rich soil of Oklahoma as a modest settlement defined by the stubborn persistence of the prairie and the quiet shadows of the Cross Timbers. It lies 30.8 miles east-southeast of Ada, OK (from Ada, OK: bearing 122°T), and is situated 11.7 miles north-northwest of Atoka. The landscape around Coalgate is defined by a rhythmic rise and fall of earth, where the stillness is punctuated only by the low, insistent rustle of wind through dry grasses and the occasional shimmer of light on the surface of Caney-Coon Creek Site 1 Reservoir. To the south, the horizon is anchored by the distant, hazy silhouette of Big Prairie Ridge, which stands as a silent sentinel over the plains. The air here holds a distinct weight, smelling of sun-baked red dirt and the cooling dampness that rises from Caney Creek as the afternoon heat begins to break.
History in Coalgate is written in the deep scars of the earth, a relic of the mining legacy that once drew settlers to this rugged expanse of Choctaw land. While the coal derricks have long since faded into the collective memory, the local economy remains tethered to the land, balancing agricultural rhythms with the quiet, functional commerce of a place that values endurance over flash. Residents often venture toward the Atoka Wildlife Management Area to find reprieve in the untamed thickets, or they look toward the hidden, quiet depths of Phillips Hollow when the pace of the day demands a slower breath. Life in Coalgate moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, where the golden hour light catches the dust motes in the street, turning the ordinary gravel and brick into something momentarily luminous and profound.

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.
