Explore Cushing, 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 Cushing, 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 Cushing.
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.

Cushing occupies a central expanse of the Oklahoma plains where the horizon stretches wide under a vast, unyielding sky. It lies 18.6 miles east-southeast of Stillwater, OK (from Stillwater, OK: bearing 119°T), and is situated 9.3 miles west of Drumright. The landscape surrounding Cushing is defined by the steady, rhythmic persistence of the land, punctuated by the quiet flow of Skull Creek just a mile away. To the distant west, the silhouette of Dawson Ridge occasionally catches the amber light of a setting sun. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the terrain dips into the subtle depressions of Hog Hollow, where the shadows linger longer in the cool of the evening. Visitors often find solace in the open green spaces of Cusing Park, a local sanctuary that anchors the community’s connection to the earth.
Cushing grew into its identity through the rugged pursuit of energy, transforming the local soil into a vital hub for the nation’s oil infrastructure. The rhythm of work here is dictated by the steady hum of pumps and the movement of crude through an intricate web of subterranean arteries. This industrial legacy remains the backbone of the economy, providing a sturdy foundation that has weathered the shifting tides of the global market for generations. Long before the derricks rose, the region was shaped by the deep, indelible history of the Indian Territory, a heritage that pulses beneath the modern surface of the trade. While the world outside changes, the industry in Cushing maintains a quiet, industrial gravity that gives the daily labor a sense of enduring purpose.
Cushing carries a cultural character forged by the intersection of frontier resilience and the disciplined focus of an oil-producing center. The atmosphere at dusk is particularly striking, as the fading light catches the metallic gleam of storage tanks against the darkening prairie grass. Residents often gather for local events that celebrate this shared endurance, grounding their collective spirit in the simple, honest traditions of the plains. While the pace of life remains deliberate, the proximity of Cushing Lake offers a quiet respite for those seeking reflection away from the steady churn of commerce. Famous figures such as the renowned actor James Marsden have origins tied to this region, carrying the quiet determination of the plains into the wider world. The spirit of the place is not found in grand displays, but in the way the wind moves across the red earth, reminding all who remain of the long, steady history beneath their feet.

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.
