Explore Lost City, 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 Lost City, 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 Lost City.
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.

Lost City occupies a quiet expanse of land where the persistent, rhythmic flow of Fourteenmile Creek carves a path through the red clay and limestone soil. It lies 10.6 miles west-northwest of Tahlequah, OK (from Tahlequah, OK: bearing 298°T), and is situated 13.2 miles east of Wagoner. The horizon here is defined by the modest, weathered rise of Butler Hill, which watches over the surrounding prairie as it transitions into the dense, tangled thickets of the Cross Timbers. During the late afternoon, the light softens into a bruised gold, casting long, lean shadows across the fields that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped away. The air carries the scent of dry grasses and damp earth, a stillness that feels less like an absence of life and more like a deliberate, patient breathing of the landscape itself.
Lost City retains the quiet gravity of a place that remembers its roots in the deep, shifting narratives of Indian Territory. The local economy remains tethered to the land, shaped by the cycles of the seasons and the slow, deliberate work of those who tend to the surrounding plains. A few miles away, the expanse of Fort Gibson Lake and the nearby Fitzgerald-Soldier Creek Site 1 Reservoir provide a different texture to the terrain, offering basins of water that reflect the vast, open Oklahoma sky. Residents often find their way toward the shelter of Wolf Hollow, where the land dips into a cool, shadowed basin that feels entirely removed from the clamor of the wider world. Life here moves with a steady, unforced cadence, grounded by the endurance of the soil and the quiet persistence of a community that has quietly maintained its corner of the plains 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.
