Explore Pettit, 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 Pettit, 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 Pettit.
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.

Pettit exists as a quiet confluence of red earth and shifting shadows where the landscape hums with the memory of the deep inland plains. It lies 10.4 miles south of Tahlequah, OK (from Tahlequah, OK: bearing 179°T), and is situated 6.7 miles south of Park Hill. Pettit Creek carves a persistent, narrow path through the terrain, its waters reflecting the heavy, golden light that settles over the brush during the final hours of the day. To the east, the horizon is anchored by the distant, jagged silhouette of Ballew Ridge, while the nearby basin of Big Hollow draws the cool air down into the limestone-flecked soil. The moisture from the nearby Tenkiller Ferry Lake tempers the heat, casting a subtle, shimmering haze that softens the outlines of the scrub oaks and the dry, tall grasses shivering in the wind.
The land around Pettit remains anchored in the long-reaching heritage of the Cherokee Nation, a history etched into the very soil that once saw the movement of people across the Cross Timbers. Agriculture and the quiet industry of the land define the rhythm of the days, where the pace is set not by the frantic tick of a clock, but by the slow rotation of the seasons and the cycle of the crops. Residents often find their way toward Tenkiller Ferry Lake, a vital space for recreation that serves as the primary gathering point for the region. Life here holds a deliberate stillness, an endurance born from generations who have learned to thrive upon this red dirt, watching as the sun dips behind the ridge to leave the plains in a profound, velvet 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.
