Explore Redbird Smith, 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 Redbird Smith, 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 Redbird Smith.
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.

Redbird Smith occupies a quiet corner of the landscape where the horizon is defined by the steady, measured rise of Merford Ridge to the east. It lies 23.3 miles east-southeast of Muskogee, OK (from Muskogee, OK: bearing 123°T), and is situated 15.0 miles west-northwest of Sallisaw. The earth here carries a distinct, rusty hue, and the thin, cooling air of dusk settles over the fields long before the shadows fully lengthen. A mile away, the quiet flow of LaRue Branch cuts through the terrain, its course marked by the deep green of willow and sycamore that contrast against the surrounding pasture. Two miles distant, the broader expanse of Tenkiller Ferry Lake holds the sky’s reflection, a vast, still surface that anchors the geography of the region. Nearby, the depression of Pot Hollow provides a sheltered cradle for the local flora, where the wind loses its sharp edge and the dry grasses bow in rhythmic, muted sympathy.
Redbird Smith exists as a place of profound ancestral resonance, holding the weight of Cherokee history within the very soil that residents still work today. The economy remains tethered to the land, moving at a pace dictated by the seasons and the cycle of the local timber and agricultural traditions. Visitors who come to explore the nearby Tenkiller Ferry Lake often find the surrounding stillness more compelling than the water itself, as the quietude suggests a continuity that predates modern development. Life at Redbird Smith is characterized by a deliberate, patient endurance, where the memory of the past is not kept in books but is instead felt in the way the morning light catches the red dirt of the roads. It is a place where the modern world is present, yet it remains subordinate to the ancient, enduring character of the land itself.

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.
