How to Use This Panama, Oklahoma Map

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

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.

Panama emerges from the iron-rich soil of eastern Oklahoma, where the earth holds a deep, rusted hue and the wind carries the dry, persistent scent of sun-baked grasses. It lies 21.6 miles southwest of Fort Smith, AR (from Fort Smith, AR: bearing 226°T), and is situated 8.3 miles north-northwest of Poteau. Beyond the modest grid of streets, the terrain softens into the quiet, heavy geography of the plains, where Buck Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the brush, its waters reflecting the vast, unbroken sky. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of Nubbin Ridge defines the horizon, a reminder of the ancient shifts that shaped this land long before the first homesteaders arrived. The light at dusk here possesses a particular, amber clarity, catching the edges of the swaying prairie as if to illuminate the very pulse of the ground itself.

Panama retains the quiet, sturdy character of a place built on the promise of the earth, its history deeply entwined with the extraction of coal and the labor of those who once sought a livelihood beneath the surface. While the mines have long since shuttered, the economy continues to turn on the modest rhythm of local trade and the resilience of a populace accustomed to the seasonal demands of the plains. Residents often look toward the nearby expanse of New Spiro Lake for a respite from the heat, or find a slower, more deliberate pace in the quietude of Bill Barber Park, which sits a short distance away. Life in Panama remains anchored in these small, persistent connections, where the vastness of the surrounding Cache Bottom basin serves as a constant, silent witness to the daily endurance of those who call this region home.
