Explore Odell, Texas, 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 Odell, Texas. 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 Texas 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 Odell.
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.

Odell exists as a quiet anchor upon the vast, sun-bleached expanse of the Texas plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut against a sky of unrelenting blue. It lies 20.8 miles south-southwest of Altus, OK (from Altus, OK: bearing 194°T), and is situated 15.9 miles north-northwest of Vernon. Wanderers Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth nearby, its banks often dry or holding only the reflective shimmer of recent rain, while the land itself dips toward the modest depression of Plum Hollow. To the west, the landscape holds its breath, marked by the distant, immovable silhouette of Big Mound that anchors the view like a thumbprint on the edge of the world. In the late afternoon, the light here turns a bruised, honeyed gold, catching the dust motes that dance above the dry grasses and turning the flat fields into a canvas of shifting shadows.
Odell maintains a slow, deliberate pulse, defined by the enduring necessity of agriculture that has long dictated the rhythm of its days. The local economy remains tied to the cycles of the soil, with silos and steel fences marking the borders of a heritage built on persistence and the quiet labor of the harvest. Beyond the immediate reach of the fields, the proximity of White Lake offers a rare, still mirror to the sky, serving as a reprieve from the heat that radiates off the hardened ground. While the years have moved forward, the spirit of Odell persists in the hushed conversations at the crossroads and the steady work of those who know the land’s temperament, finding a simple, stark beauty in the way the wind moves across the plains toward the shelter of Castelberry Park.

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.
