Explore Lamar, 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 Lamar, 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 Lamar.
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.

Lamar occupies a quiet expanse of the Oklahoma landscape where the earth displays a deep, iron-rich crimson hue beneath a wide and persistent sky. It lies 23.3 miles west-northwest of McAlester, OK (from McAlester, OK: bearing 300°T), and is situated 15.4 miles east of Holdenville. The horizon stretches out in long, uncomplicated lines, broken only by the occasional stand of post oak and blackjack that defines the edges of the Cross Timbers. Just a mile away, the waters of Gobbler Creek carve a slow path through the clay, offering a thin, verdant ribbon of shade during the heat of the afternoon. While Big Prairie Ridge looms as a faint, hazy suggestion of height far to the west, the immediate terrain remains defined by the steady, unyielding pressure of the wind that pulls across the open fields. At dusk, the light here turns a bruised, singular violet, casting long shadows that seem to hold the stillness of the plains in a temporary suspension.
Lamar emerged as a product of the territorial era, its character shaped by the intersection of migrant ambition and the enduring memory of the indigenous nations who preceded the homesteaders. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil and the legacy of the oil fields, with pump jacks occasionally nodding in the distance like patient sentinels over the grazing cattle. Life in Lamar follows the seasonal demands of the harvest and the quiet persistence of those who find stability in the familiar geography of the plains. For those seeking a wider reprieve, the paths near Stroup Park provide a space to observe the local ecology, while the proximity of Brooks Lake offers a cooling contrast to the sun-baked plains. The atmosphere is one of deliberate endurance, where the passing of a vehicle on a gravel road is an event that measures the depth of the surrounding silence.

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.
