Explore Wainwright, 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 Wainwright, 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 Wainwright.
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.

Wainwright emerges from the red-dusted plains of Oklahoma as a quiet confluence of prairie grass and the persistent, wandering course of Anderson Creek. It lies 14.4 miles southwest of Muskogee, OK (from Muskogee, OK: bearing 230°T), and is situated 10.1 miles north-northwest of Checotah. The landscape here favors the subtle geometry of open space, where the horizon stretches flat and wide, interrupted only by the occasional scrub oak or the distant, hazy silhouette of Chimney Mountain rising seven miles to the west. Sunlight in Wainwright possesses a peculiar, honeyed thickness during the late afternoon, casting elongated shadows across the fields that seem to amplify the stillness of the dry, shifting air. This expanse is defined by the steady, unadorned character of the terrain, where the earth holds the heat of the day long after the sky has faded into a pale, bruised violet.
The history of Wainwright remains anchored in the deep, layered memory of the region, echoing the legacy of the lands once designated for Indigenous nations long before the arrival of the rail lines. While the local economy has transitioned away from the frantic pace of early twentieth-century industry, the rhythm of life continues to pulse with an agrarian patience that honors the surrounding fields. Residents often look toward the nearby Eufaula Lake, eight miles away, as a primary point of recreation and a necessary respite from the demands of the land. Whether one is watching the wind move through the tall grasses or observing the slow transformation of the seasons, Wainwright maintains a distinct, solitary composure, indifferent to the hurried progress of the wider 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.
