Explore Taft, 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 Taft, 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 Taft.
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.

Taft occupies a quiet expanse of the Oklahoma plains where the horizon stretches wide and unburdened under a pale, expansive sky. It lies 10.0 miles west of Muskogee, OK (from Muskogee, OK: bearing 276°T), and is situated 14.4 miles south-southeast of Coweta. The land here is defined by the heavy, iron-rich soil that clings to the boots of those who walk it, a landscape shaped by the slow, deliberate work of wind and season. Two miles to the north, the Arkansas River carves a sluggish, meandering path through the earth, while Taft Lake Number 3 sits nearby, reflecting the shifting clouds like a polished, dark mirror. To the west, the distant outline of the High Spring Mountains provides a faint, serrated edge to the skyline, a reminder of the rugged terrain that lies beyond the immediate reach of the prairie grasses.
Taft remains a place of profound historical resonance, standing as a testament to the era of all-Black towns established in the former Indian Territory. The local economy and daily rhythms are tethered to the slow pulse of agriculture and the legacy of families who built their lives on this red dirt during a time of immense social transition. While the bustle of larger centers feels far removed, the presence of Honor Heights Park just seven miles away offers a curated contrast to the wilder, open fields that define the immediate surroundings of the Choska Bottom. Life in Taft moves with the patience of the seasons, where the evening light softens the edges of the old buildings and the silence of the plains settles in, undisturbed by the hurried pace of the modern 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.
