How to Use This Selman, Oklahoma Map

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

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.

Selman occupies a stretch of high, open prairie where the color of the earth shifts from deep ochre to a muted, dusty gray under the relentless sun. It lies 26.1 miles north-northwest of Woodward, OK (from Woodward, OK: bearing 348°T), and is situated 45.6 miles west of Alva. The wind here carries a persistent, dry weight, moving across the flat expanse to stir the red dirt that defines the landscape of this region. Buffalo Creek cuts a thin, winding path through the nearby terrain, its banks offering a rare break in the endless horizon of wheat and scrub. Far to the south, the jagged silhouette of Devils Backbone rises against the sky, a distant reminder of the varied topography that exists beyond the immediate, unobstructed view. The light at dusk settles over Selman with a peculiar clarity, turning the grass into a field of burnished copper before the long shadows of night pull the world into silence.

History lingers in the quietude of these plains, echoing the long-held tenure of the Comanche and Osage people who once tracked the buffalo across this same soil. The economy remains tethered to the land, defined by the seasonal labor of the harvest and the solitary, rhythmic nodding of oil pumps that dot the countryside like sentinels of a fading industrial era. Those who look toward the horizon for diversion often find their way to the Cimarron Bluff Wildlife Management Area, where the rugged terrain provides a sanctuary for native species, or visit the Oknoname 05910 Reservoir when the heat demands a reprieve. Life in Selman maintains a deliberate pace, governed by the turning of the seasons and the simple, ironclad necessity of the work done beneath a vast, indifferent sky.
