Explore Preston, 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 Preston, 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 Preston.
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.

Preston emerges from the red dirt of the Oklahoma plains as a quiet intersection of open fields and the low, persistent movement of the wind. It lies 6.3 miles north-northwest of Okmulgee, OK (from Okmulgee, OK: bearing 344°T), and is situated 17.0 miles south-southwest of Bixby. Flat Rock Creek carves a patient, winding path through the landscape, its presence marked by the deepening of greenery against the dry, sun-bleached grasses that define the horizon. To the west, the High Spring Mountains appear as a soft, bruised violet line against the sky, too distant to offer shelter but close enough to lend a sense of scale to the vast, quiet stretches of earth. The air here holds a clarity that sharpens the edges of the barns and fence lines, and at dusk, the light turns a bruised, copper gold that seems to cling to the tall grasses of the Okmulgee Public Hunting Areaa.
Preston carries the weight of a history rooted in the hard, honest labor of the land, where the memory of earlier territorial days lingers in the architecture of older homesteads and the deep, iron-rich soil. The economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the earth, echoing the legacy of the oil-derrick country that once defined the surrounding region with its promise of prosperity and industry. Local life moves at a pace dictated by the seasons, far removed from the clamor of larger hubs, finding its stability in the proximity of the Oknoname 111086 Reservoir and the jagged, ancient relief of Rock Creek Canyon. There is a particular stillness in the way the morning mist rises from the lowlands, a reminder that Preston persists as a singular point of endurance in a landscape that has seen the slow, steady transformation of the Cross Timbers into the orderly geometry of modern fields.

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.
