Explore Tamaha, 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 Tamaha, 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 Tamaha.
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.

Tamaha sits low upon the banks where Pheasant Creek spills its quiet, silt-heavy waters into the vast expanse of Robert S Kerr Reservoir. It lies 32.6 miles southeast of Muskogee, OK (from Muskogee, OK: bearing 138°T), and is situated 11.9 miles west-southwest of Sallisaw. The land here is defined by the deep, iron-rich red dirt of the Cross Timbers, a stubborn soil that clings to the boots of anyone walking the perimeter of the reservoir. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of Hickorynut Ridge rises against the twilight, catching the last of the sun in a bruised purple light that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the shadows have stretched across the plains. It is a landscape of stillness, where the wind carries the dry, rattling sigh of tall grasses and the occasional sharp cry of a hawk circling above the quiet water.
Tamaha holds the weight of a long memory, marking a time when the river was a primary artery for trade and movement through the Choctaw Nation. The rhythm of the days here is measured by the slow rise and fall of the water level in Robert S. Kerr Lake, which serves as a center for the sparse local activity that has replaced the bustling commerce of the steamboat era. What was once a vital port has settled into a quiet persistence, where the economy leans on the land and the endurance of those who stay to work it. Beyond the edges of the settlement, the path toward Boggy Hollow offers a glimpse of the terrain’s ancient, uneven character, a reminder that Tamaha exists in a space where history is not something read in books, but something felt in the heavy, humid air that rises from the reservoir at dawn.

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.
