Explore Wilson, 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 Wilson, 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 Wilson.
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.

Wilson occupies a vast, sun-bleached expanse where the red dirt holds the heat of the afternoon long after the shadows stretch toward the horizon. It lies 16.2 miles west of Ardmore, OK (from Ardmore, OK: bearing 267°T), and is situated 9.4 miles west of Lone Grove. The landscape unfolds in wide, rhythmic swells of prairie and scrub, marked by the persistent, restless wind that carries the scent of dry grass and turned earth. Two miles to the east, the quiet waters of Upper Bayou Site 18 Reservoir catch the pale light of evening, mirroring a sky that seems larger here than anywhere else. Nearby, the water of Demijohn Creek carves a thin, silver vein through the low brush, while the distant, hazy blue silhouette of the Criner Hills anchors the western edge of the world.
Wilson emerged from the deep pulse of the oil boom, a legacy written in the skeletal steel of rusted derricks that still stand as silent sentinels over the plains. The local economy, once tethered to the sudden wealth of subterranean reserves, now hums with a slower, more enduring persistence that reflects the character of those who remain. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the rugged, untamed character of the Cross Timbers Wildlife Management Area offers a dense, protective canopy of oak and hickory, contrasting with the open fields that define the regional geography. Ten miles away, the quiet depression of Townley Hollow gathers the morning mist, a reminder of the ancient, slow-moving geology that shapes the rhythm of life in this corner of the state.

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.
