Explore Rock Island, 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 Rock Island, 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 Rock Island.
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.

Rock Island anchors itself firmly within the rugged, red-earth topography of eastern Oklahoma, defined by the persistent, winding course of the Ivy Branch. It lies 14.7 miles south-southwest of Fort Smith, AR (from Fort Smith, AR: bearing 197°T), and is situated 3.4 miles south of Pocola. The horizon here is dominated by the distant silhouette of Scott Ridge, a jagged seam against the sky that watches over the low-lying terrain. Nearby, the quiet waters of Wofford Lake hold the reflection of the clouds, cooling the air as the sun drifts toward the western plains. The earth is dense with the color of oxidized iron, and when the wind picks up, it carries the scent of dry grass and the ancient, quiet weight of the Cross Timbers. Visitors seeking the stillness of the landscape often find their way toward the green expanse of Davy Park, where the land dips into the shaded shelter of Bear Hollow.
Rock Island emerged from the intersection of early rail expansion and the agrarian labor of those who broke the stubborn, clay-heavy soil. The economy remains tethered to the pulse of the land, drawing sustenance from modest agricultural yields and the enduring legacy of resource extraction that characterizes this sector of the state. Life in Rock Island moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, echoing the labor of generations who shaped the local character out of the hard-won independence of Indian Territory. On quiet evenings, the light catches the metallic dust suspended in the air, casting a golden, amber glow over the fences and fields that define the perimeter of the residence. It is a place where the present moment feels weighted by the memory of the past, yet remains unburdened by the frantic pace of the wider world.

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.
