Explore Shady Grove, 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 Shady Grove, 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 Shady Grove.
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.

Shady Grove occupies a quiet expanse of Oklahoma where the Rabbit Branch cuts a wandering, silt-heavy path through the red earth. It lies 6.5 miles west of Fort Smith, AR (from Fort Smith, AR: bearing 273°T), and is situated 9.8 miles west-southwest of Van Buren. The landscape stretches out in broad, unhurried plains, defined by the low-slung horizon where the distant silhouette of Miller Ridge rises in shades of bruised violet against the afternoon light. Sunlight here has a particular weight, pressing down on the tall grasses of the open fields and catching the dust stirred up by the wind, turning the air into a golden, shimmering haze. To the west, the land dips into the low, fertile dampness of the Moffett Bottom, a place where the soil holds the memory of every rain that has ever fallen, grounding the geography in a stark, elemental stillness.
Shady Grove carries the quiet gravity of a place built on the cycles of the earth, where the local economy has long been tethered to the patient rhythms of agriculture and the extraction of what lies beneath the surface. Men and women here walk with the deliberate pace of those who have learned to accommodate the heat and the long, dry spells that turn the fields to iron. On weekends, the community gathers at Roland City Park, a small patch of managed green that serves as a necessary anchor for the local spirit. Those seeking a longer perspective often look toward the River Trail, which offers a path through the brush, or turn their gaze seven miles toward the stillness of Crowe Hill Reservoir, where the water reflects the sky with a clarity that seems to sharpen the senses. It is a place that does not ask for attention, preferring instead to exist in the steady, recurring labor of its people and the enduring, silent presence of the plains.

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.
