How to Use This Panola, Oklahoma Map

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

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.

Panola remains a quiet witness to the slow, persistent shift of red earth under the weight of an expansive sky. It lies 31.5 miles east of McAlester, OK (from McAlester, OK: bearing 90°T), and is situated 5.5 miles east of Wilburton. The landscape around Panola is defined by the subtle, rhythmic rise of the terrain as it stretches toward the distant shadow of Red Oak Ridge, which anchors the horizon in a haze of muted violet. To the south, the gentle breadth of Baldwin Prairie offers an open expanse of grasses that ripple in the steady wind, while the nearby banks of Little Fourche Maline hold the dark, cool dampness of the shade. Water collects in the stillness of Fourche Maline Creek Site 10 Reservoir, where the light at dusk settles like a thin, silver film across the surface, mirroring the quietude of the surrounding woods.

History here is written in the soil, a legacy of the Choctaw Nation that continues to shape the character of the region. The economy of Panola has long been tethered to the rhythms of the land, moving from early agricultural roots to the steady, industrial hum of the oil and timber industries that once defined the state’s frontier ambition. Nearby, the rugged sandstone formations of Robbers Cave Wildlife Management Area serve as a reminder of the raw, untamed geology that characterizes this part of the country. Life in Panola follows the pace of the seasons, marked by the arrival of the heat and the dry, rustling transition into winter, maintaining a stoic resilience that persists long after the daily chores are finished.

About This Panola Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Panola, Oklahoma. Coordinates: 34.92871, -95.213301. 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 Panola includes the ZIP code (74578, 74559, 74563), telephone area code (918), county seat of Latimer County (Wilburton), and school district assignment (Panola 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.
