Explore Foss, 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 Foss, 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 Foss.
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.

Foss occupies a quiet stretch of the Oklahoma plains where the horizon pulls the sky down to meet the earth in a blur of dust and golden light. It lies 13.5 miles east-northeast of Elk City, OK (from Elk City, OK: bearing 77°T), and is situated 12.2 miles west-southwest of Clinton. Turkey Creek carves a path through the landscape, its winding channel marking the low ground where the soil turns a deeper shade of rust and the air holds a persistent, cooling dampness even in the height of summer. Beyond the immediate banks, the land rises into subtle, wind-swept swells that offer an unobstructed view of the sun as it retreats, painting the tall grasses in shades of copper and violet. A short distance away, the quiet waters of Turkey Creek Site 3 Reservoir catch the last of the daylight, acting as a glass pane for the clouds that drift relentlessly over the open expanse.
Foss retains the quiet character of a place built upon the rhythms of the wheat harvest and the slow, heavy movement of the wind. The legacy of the land is defined by the memory of those who traversed these plains long before the arrival of the rail, leaving a quiet imprint on the red-dusted fields that now support a modest, agrarian economy. Residents often look toward the horizon to gauge the arrival of weather, their lives synchronized with the cycles of the seasons that dictate the work of the surrounding farms. For those seeking a moment of respite, the expansive grounds of Foss State Park offer a place to walk amidst the native prairie vegetation, providing a perspective on the vastness that remains the defining feature of this enduring corner of the world.

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.
