How to Use This Cottonwood, Oklahoma Map

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

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 Cottonwood, Oklahoma

Cottonwood is a locality in Coal County, Oklahoma, United States. It is a small community with a population of 117. The population density is 68.4 people per km². Cottonwood is located at 34.5547°N, 96.2032°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 74948, 74538.

Cottonwood sits amidst the low, sun-bleached expanse of the Oklahoma plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut under a sky that feels remarkably vast. It lies 30.9 miles east-southeast of Ada, OK (from Ada, OK: bearing 119°T), and is situated 12.5 miles north-northwest of Atoka. The land here is defined by the slow, rhythmic transition from open prairie to the dense, scrubby thickets of the Cross Timbers, a landscape shaped by the persistence of red dirt and the dry, insistent wind. Only a mile away, the water of Caney Creek cuts a quiet path through the terrain, feeding the nearby Caney-Coon Creek Site 3 Reservoir, which reflects the shifting amber light of late afternoon like a polished mirror. Far to the west, the faint, hazy silhouette of Big Prairie Ridge provides the only true punctuation to an otherwise level vista, marking the distant edge of the world.

Cottonwood draws its identity from the deep layers of human experience embedded in this soil, echoing the long-standing heritage of the Choctaw and surrounding nations. While the local economy has historically leaned into the rhythms of agriculture and the extraction of mineral wealth, the pace of life remains tethered to the seasonal changes of the fields. Residents look toward the Atoka Wildlife Management Area for a sense of untamed continuity, a reminder of the wilder state of the plains before the fences were drawn. Even as the modern world intrudes, the spirit of Cottonwood lingers in the quietude of Phillips Hollow, where the shadows lengthen early and the air carries the scent of dry grass and approaching rain, grounding the community in a steady, unadorned existence.

About This Cottonwood Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cottonwood, Oklahoma. Coordinates: 34.554699, -96.203235. 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 Cottonwood includes the ZIP code (74948, 74538), telephone area code (918), county seat of Coal County (Coalgate), and school district assignment (Cottonwood Public School).

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.
