How to Use This Shidler, Oklahoma Map

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

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.

Shidler occupies a quiet expanse of high plains where the red earth meets an infinite, pale sky. It lies 24.1 miles east-northeast of Ponca City, OK (from Ponca City, OK: bearing 77°T), and is situated 19.6 miles west-northwest of Pawhuska. Salt Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the landscape just a mile away, its presence marked by the deepening of green in the otherwise tawny grasses. Beyond the immediate horizon, the silhouette of Round Mound rises as a solitary, weathered sentinel against the fading light. The air here carries a persistent, dry clarity, and when the sun begins its descent, the light catches the iron in the soil, turning the ground into a bruised, glowing violet that seems to hold the heat of the afternoon long after the shadows have lengthened.

Shidler grew from the sudden, frantic pulse of the oil boom, a history still etched in the skeletal remains of rusted derricks that punctuate the prairie like relics of a forgotten industrial faith. The local economy persists with a stoic patience, tethered to the rhythms of the land and the memory of the Osage people who shaped this territory. Residents often look toward the nearby Kaw Wildlife Management Area, where the prairie remains largely undisturbed, or find respite in the broad, still waters of Kaw Lake. Life moves with an internal, steady cadence, unbothered by the haste of distant urban centers, defined instead by the vast, open silence that settles over the plains once the wind finally dies down.

About This Shidler Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Shidler, Oklahoma. Coordinates: 36.781985, -96.661138. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Shidler includes the ZIP code (74652), telephone area code (918), county seat of Osage County (Pawhuska), and school district assignment (Shidler Public Schools).

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.
