How to Use This Eldon, Oklahoma Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Eldon, 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 Eldon.
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 Eldon, Oklahoma
Eldon is a locality in Cherokee County, Oklahoma, United States. It is a small community with a population of 347. The population density is 14.9 people per km². Eldon is located at 35.9401°N, 94.8092°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 74464, 74960.Eldon emerges from the red-streaked earth where the Baron Fork carves a slow, deliberate path through the landscape. It lies 7.3 miles east of Tahlequah, OK (from Tahlequah, OK: bearing 83°T), and is situated 8.1 miles northeast of Park Hill. The Baron Fork serves as a constant, quiet companion to the terrain, its waters reflecting the heavy, golden light that settles over the region at dusk. To the west, the silhouettes of Bynum Ridge rise against the horizon like a jagged spine, anchoring a world defined by deep woodland and the sudden, shadowed descent into Field Hollow. Beyond the immediate reach of the riverbed, the landscape shifts into a patchwork of scrub oak and stubborn prairie grasses, where the air holds the scent of damp soil and the lingering heat of a sun that seems to ripen the very stones.
Eldon carries the weight of a long tenure on land that remembers the migrations and settlements of the Cherokee people, a history that pulses beneath the modern, quiet pace of daily life. The local economy remains tethered to the land, drawing sustenance from the timber and agricultural veins that crisscross the surrounding plains. Residents often look toward the Cookson Hills Fee for a reprieve in the untamed brush, or listen for the distant, rhythmic rush of McSpadden Falls when the rains have been plentiful. While Tenkiller Ferry Lake remains a short drive away, the life of Eldon stays centered on the immediate, practical rhythms of the field and the forest, where the passage of time is measured not by clocks, but by the slow turning of the seasons across the red clay.

About This Eldon Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Eldon, Oklahoma. Coordinates: 35.940128, -94.809192. 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 Eldon includes the ZIP code (74464, 74960), telephone area code (918), county seat of Cherokee County (Tahlequah), and school district assignment (Briggs 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.
