Explore Gerty, 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 Gerty, 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 Gerty.
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.

Gerty occupies a quiet span of red-earthed plains where the horizon hums with the persistent, low-frequency vibration of the wind. It lies 22.5 miles east of Ada, OK (from Ada, OK: bearing 79°T), and is situated 17.9 miles south-southeast of Holdenville. Panther Creek carves a shallow, rhythmic path through the brush just a mile to the west, its banks lined with the gnarled, stubborn silhouettes of the Cross Timbers. To the east, the water of Oknoname 063034 Reservoir catches the bruised violet light of late afternoon, mirroring a sky that seems to stretch wider here than anywhere else on the continent. Far to the south, the faint, hazy suggestion of Big Prairie Ridge asserts itself against the sky, a distant ripple of earth that reminds the traveler of the immense, ancient scale of this land.
Gerty carries the quiet gravity of a place that has long watched the slow pulse of the oil industry rise and recede, leaving behind the skeletal remains of derricks that once promised a different kind of fortune. The local economy persists in the steady, patient work of agriculture, anchored by the memories of those who traversed this Indian Territory long before the fences were drawn. Daily life here moves with the unforced cadence of a pendulum, indifferent to the frantic velocity of the outer world. Though the distant reaches of King Hollow offer a deeper, more shadowed topography, the people here find their own resonance in the flat, expansive fields that demand a certain stoic grace from those who inhabit them.

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.
