How to Use This Nichols Hills, Oklahoma Map

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

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.

Nichols Hills rises as a deliberate green island amidst the vast, flat expanse of the Oklahoma plains, defined by its mature canopy and the careful arrangement of its residential landscape. It lies 4.4 miles east-northeast of Warr Acres, OK (from Warr Acres, OK: bearing 64°T), and is situated 6.0 miles north-northwest of Oklahoma City. The geography here is marked by gentle swells of earth that defy the monotony of the surrounding prairie, where the air holds a dry, sharp clarity that persists even when the wind carries the scent of red dirt from the open country beyond. Residents move through streets shaded by ancient oaks and elms, a stark contrast to the distant, arid horizon, while the proximity of Grand Boulevard Park provides a continuous, manicured lung for the neighborhood. Dry Creek winds its way through the periphery, a modest waterway that underscores the quiet, inland character of the terrain, while the expansive surface of Lake Hefner glimmers only two miles away, offering a wide, reflective stillness that anchors the western view.

Nichols Hills emerged from the vision of an early twentieth-century developer who sought to carve a refined, permanent aesthetic into the rugged spirit of the original Indian Territory. This deliberate planning fostered an economy rooted in enduring property value and professional stability, attracting those who favored the quietude of high-end residential life over the frantic pace of industrial expansion. The cultural character remains tethered to a sense of privacy and order, a sharp departure from the boom-and-bust cycles that defined much of the state’s oil-rich history. Even now, the rhythm of daily life is measured by the changing light on the manicured lawns and the hushed transition of seasons across the plains, maintaining a distinct identity that feels both insulated from and deeply connected to the broader, sprawling history of the surrounding region.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Nichols Hills, Oklahoma. Coordinates: 35.55089, -97.548929. 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 Nichols Hills includes the ZIP code (73116), telephone area code (405), county seat of Oklahoma County (Oklahoma City), and school district assignment (Oklahoma City 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.
