Explore Hough, 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 Hough, 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 Hough.
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.

Hough occupies a quiet expanse of the Oklahoma plains where the horizon stretches thin, pulling the sky down to meet the red-dusted earth in a sharp, unwavering line. It lies 14.0 miles north-northwest of Guymon, OK (from Guymon, OK: bearing 338°T), and is situated 24.5 miles south-southwest of Hugoton. The landscape here is defined by the persistent, restless wind that scours the open fields, shaping the grasses into rhythmic waves that mimic the stillness of the deep interior. Two miles to the west, the narrow banks of Cow Creek carry away the occasional runoff from sudden storms, while the stagnant, sun-warmed waters of Sturdivan Number 1 Reservoir lie three miles distant, reflecting the vast, cloudless blue of the afternoon. When the sun retreats, the light grows heavy and amber, casting long, bruised shadows across the prairie that make the very stones seem to vibrate with the day’s stored heat.
Hough carries the weight of a history rooted in the layered legacies of Indian Territory, where the persistence of the land outlasts the shifting fortunes of those who work it. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the soil and the legacy of the oil fields, where rusted, skeletal derricks occasionally punctuate the wheat-colored fields like monuments to a transient prosperity. Life moves with the deliberate pace of a place that has learned to wait, whether for the harvest or for the distant, cooling rains that might gather near Dry Sand Draw twelve miles away. Residents sometimes venture toward Cross Park for a respite in the sparse, scrubby timber, but the character of Hough is found in the quiet endurance of its own streets, where the scent of dry earth and mineral-rich dust lingers long after the machinery of the day has gone silent.

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.
