Explore Stroud, 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 Stroud, 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 Stroud.
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.

Stroud occupies a stretch of Oklahoma where the earth reveals itself in deep, rust-colored clay and the insistent reach of the Cross Timbers. It lies 32.8 miles north-northeast of Shawnee, OK (from Shawnee, OK: bearing 27°T), and is situated 17.4 miles south-southeast of Cushing. The landscape unfolds in a quiet expanse of prairie, marked by the slow, deliberate currents of Gray Horse Creek that trace the perimeter of the low-lying terrain. To the far horizon, the faint, jagged silhouette of Dawson Ridge suggests a distant boundary, while the immediate surroundings remain defined by the modest, industrial stillness of the Stroud Sewage Lagoon and the nearby expanse of the Deep Fork Wildlife Management Area. In the late afternoon, the light here possesses a singular clarity, casting long, bruised shadows across the fields that seem to hold the heat of the sun long after it has dipped below the prairie grasses.
Stroud carries the weight of a frontier history, rooted in the legacy of the Indian Territory and the subsequent rush of commerce that followed the discovery of oil. The economy hums with the persistence of those early boom years, favoring the steady labor of the oil patch and a tradition of agricultural resilience that keeps the local character grounded. Life in Stroud moves with the cadence of wind across the plains, punctuated by the passing of trucks and the enduring presence of heritage sites that speak to the resilience of those who settled this arid, productive country. It is a place where the architecture of a bygone era still stands in the storefronts, reflecting a quiet determination that remains as consistent as the red dirt clinging to the boots of its inhabitants.

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.
