Explore Horntown, 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 Horntown, 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 Horntown.
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.

Horntown occupies a stretch of iron-rich earth where the horizon pulls the sky taut against the plains. It lies 29.1 miles west-northwest of McAlester, OK (from McAlester, OK: bearing 292°T), and is situated 8.6 miles east of Holdenville. The landscape here is defined by the persistent, unyielding pull of the wind, which carries the scent of dry grass and dust across the open fields. Only a mile away, the narrow, winding channel of Grief Creek cuts through the soil, carving a modest path that sustains the local flora even during the heat of late summer. While the distant, hazy silhouette of Big Prairie Ridge marks the far western boundary of the traveler’s view, the immediate terrain remains dominated by the expansive, sun-bleached character of the Cross Timbers. At dusk, the light turns a bruised, heavy gold, catching the edges of the red dirt and casting long, thin shadows that seem to hold the quiet weight of the afternoon.
Horntown maintains a steady, deliberate pace that reflects its long-standing connection to the land and the memory of those who settled these plains. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil and the legacy of the oil fields, where the rhythmic pumping of jacks occasionally breaks the silence of the countryside. Residents often look toward the nearby Oknoname 063024 Reservoir when the heat intensifies, finding a necessary stillness near its banks. Those seeking a broader expanse of natural quiet frequently travel the eight miles to Stroup Park, a space that preserves the quietude of the native prairie. Life in Horntown is marked by the simple, enduring persistence of a place that understands its own boundaries, moving forward with the same stoic grace that has defined its people for generations.

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.
