Explore Wilburton, 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 Wilburton, 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 Wilburton.
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.

Wilburton occupies a quiet expanse of land where the red earth meets the persistent, dry breath of the plains. It lies 26.1 miles east of McAlester, OK (from McAlester, OK: bearing 92°T), and is situated 29.8 miles south-southeast of Eufaula. Bandy Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the local terrain, its waters low and steady as they trace the contours of the landscape toward the horizon. To the north, the distant silhouette of Bobcat Ridge defines the skyline, a jagged reminder of the rugged geology that presses against the edges of the town. Within the immediate vicinity, Joe Roberson Park offers a patch of maintained green space where the afternoon light catches the tall grasses, casting long, amber shadows that seem to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has begun to slip behind the trees.
Wilburton retains the quiet weight of history, rooted in the legacy of the Choctaw Nation and the subsequent arrival of those drawn to the promise of coal and the heavy industry of the early earth-movers. The local economy persists through a blend of agricultural resilience and the steady, humdrum mechanics of regional commerce, far removed from the frantic pace of the larger world. Just a few miles away, Fourche Maline Creek Site 2 Reservoir provides a reflective stillness to the surroundings, while the nearby Rough Canyon marks the deeper, darker folds of the surrounding topography. Life in Wilburton moves with the slow, deliberate pulse of a place that understands how to endure, marked by the simple, enduring architecture of mid-century storefronts and the quiet persistence of its residents.

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.
