Explore Colony, 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 Colony, 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 Colony.
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.

Colony occupies a stretch of open prairie where the red earth meets an expansive, unrelenting sky. It lies 12.4 miles south of Weatherford, OK (from Weatherford, OK: bearing 172°T), and is situated 20.0 miles west-southwest of Hinton. The landscape is defined by the steady, unhurried flow of Cobb Creek, which carves a shallow path through the soil less than a mile from the center of the settlement. To the west, the horizon remains flat and vast, though the distant, hazy silhouettes of the South Hills occasionally rise against the sunset. During the dry heat of midsummer, the wind carries the scent of parched grass and dust, moving across the plains with a weight that suggests the deep, ancient history of these lands. The atmosphere is quiet, marked by the sharp, clear light of the plains that turns the world into high-contrast shades of copper and deep gray as the sun dips low.
Colony emerged from the complex shifts of the territory, shaped by the legacy of the surrounding plains and the persistent labor of those who worked the wheat fields. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the harvest and the stewardship of the land, reflecting a heritage that spans generations of agricultural tradition. Residents often look toward the nearby expanse of Crowder Lake State Park for a reprieve from the heat, or watch the clouds gather toward the basin of Dry Canyon. While the demands of modern life have changed the pace of the surroundings, the core character of Colony persists in the resilience of its architecture and the steady, quiet endurance of its people. Life here is measured not by the clock, but by the slow rotation of the seasons and the shifting colors of the fields that stretch toward Cobb Creek Site 2 Reservoir in the distance.

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.
