How to Use This Knowles, Oklahoma Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Knowles, 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 Knowles.

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.

Knowles emerges from the vast, red-earthed plains as a quiet intersection of sky and soil, defined by the relentless wind that combs through the tall grasses. It lies 53.9 miles northwest of Woodward, OK (from Woodward, OK: bearing 305°T), and is situated 41.8 miles east-southeast of Liberal. The landscape surrounding Knowles remains dominated by open horizons where the light at dusk turns the dusty ground into a bruised violet, casting long, sharp shadows from the sparse fence lines. To the south, the low, distant silhouette of Devils Backbone provides the only break in an otherwise flat expanse that stretches toward the horizon. The moisture of the region gathers in the quiet, narrow artery of Kidds Creek, a short distance away, while the stillness of the Barby Sargent Number 3 Reservoir holds the reflection of the clouds in its shallow, earth-bound basin.

Economic life in Knowles reflects the cyclical patience of the wheat harvest and the enduring presence of energy production, where the rhythmic pump of oil jacks keeps time with the slow seasons. This land carries the deep, layered memory of those who lived on these plains long before the fences were strung, a history etched into the very grain of the red dirt. For those seeking the solace of the outdoors, the Evans Chambers Public Fishing Area offers a rare, designated space to witness the local wildlife amidst the agricultural patchwork. Life here moves with a steady, deliberate cadence, focused on the maintenance of the fields and the endurance of a culture that has learned to thrive in the wide, empty spaces between the stars and the dust.

About This Knowles Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Knowles, Oklahoma. Coordinates: 36.873362, -100.193473. 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 Knowles includes the ZIP code (73844), telephone area code (580), county seat of Beaver County (Beaver), and school district assignment (Forgan Public Schools).

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.
