Explore Tatums, 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 Tatums, 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 Tatums.
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.

Tatums emerges from the prairie as a quiet congregation of structures framed by the expansive, sun-bleached horizon of Oklahoma. It lies 28.0 miles northwest of Ardmore, OK (from Ardmore, OK: bearing 320°T), and is situated 19.5 miles west of Davis. Flat Creek meanders a mere mile from the perimeter, its path carved through the dense, scrubby vegetation of the Cross Timbers that gives way to wider, open fields. To the south, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Arbuckle Mountains anchors the distance, providing a permanent backdrop to the red-tinted soil that defines the local topography. At dusk, the light here possesses a peculiar, heavy clarity, turning the dry grasses into stalks of burnished copper while the wind carries the scent of dust and dormant earth across the plains.
The history of Tatums remains deeply rooted in the legacy of freedmen who established a self-sufficient enclave amidst the vast, untamed landscape of Indian Territory. Agriculture and the rhythms of the seasons have long dictated the pace of life, though the influence of the oil industry periodically ripples through the local economy as it does across the broader region. While the quietude of the surroundings is absolute, the proximity of Redoak Hollow and the distant, cooling waters of Oknoname 137058 Reservoir offer a stark contrast to the arid, sun-drenched fields. Residents often look toward the regional landmarks like Turner Falls Park for a sense of the rugged, geological vitality that defines the broader landscape, yet they maintain a distinct, enduring identity that persists in the quiet streets of Tatums.

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.
