Map of Oklahoma with Cities, Counties and Roads

An In-depth Overview of Map of Oklahoma

Introduction:

This Oklahoma map - map of Oklahoma with cities, counties and roads network is county-forward with a road-light layout for orientation. It labels all 77 counties, their county seats, bordering states, selected cities and lakes, and gentle arterial lines to help you follow direction without overwhelming the county geography. This is a detailed map designed to be your best map companion for study, planning and travel.

How to read this Oklahoma county map

The cartography emphasizes county polygons in alternating pastels, clear county seat dots with names, and a road-light network that shows the interstates and main U.S. highways just enough to orient you. Water features (lakes and rivers), neighboring states, and select towns are labeled to support context while keeping the focus on counties.

Bordering states and gateway context (north, east, south, west)

Oklahoma is framed by Kansas to the north, Missouri on the northeast corner, Arkansas along the east, Texas along the south and west, and at the tip of the Panhandle the state touches New Mexico and Colorado. These borders are clearly traced so you can see how each county relates to crossings and regional gateways.

A. The Panhandle counties (west-to-east): Cimarron, Texas, Beaver

The map’s long three-county strip begins with Cimarron County (Boise City) against New Mexico and Colorado. Its sparse network shows a few arterial lines and remote features, illustrating the open High Plains. East is Texas County (Guymon), the Panhandle’s population center, followed by Beaver County (Beaver). The road-light treatment keeps focus on county extent while still hinting at east–west travel toward Woodward and Enid.

B. Northwest High Plains: Harper, Ellis, Woodward, Woods, Alfalfa, Major, Dewey, Roger Mills, Custer, Beckham, Washita, Greer, Kiowa, Jackson, Harmon

This swath highlights ranching landscapes and small but distinct seats:

• Harper (Buffalo) and Ellis (Arnett) bridge the Panhandle to the rest of the state.

• Woodward (Woodward) is a clear regional hub; note the centrally placed label and seat dot.

• Woods (Alva), Alfalfa (Cherokee), Major (Fairview) and Dewey (Taloga) stair-step toward the north.

• West-central counties—Roger Mills (Cheyenne), Custer (Arapaho), Beckham (Sayre) and Washita (Cordell)—are plotted with clean boundaries so you can compare sizes at a glance.

• Far-southwest: Greer (Mangum), Kiowa (Hobart), Jackson (Altus) and Harmon (Hollis) align along the Red River approach to Texas.

The cartographer threads only the main corridors across these boxes, so the counties remain the star.

C. North-central and Osage Plains: Grant, Kay, Garfield, Noble, Pawnee, Osage, Logan, Payne, Kingfisher, Blaine, Canadian

Here the counties tighten around wheat country and college towns:

• Grant (Medford) sits under the Kansas line; the map makes the boundary crisp for quick orientation.

• Kay (Newkirk) and Garfield (Enid) show their seats prominently; Enid’s position anchors northwest travel.

• Noble (Perry) and Pawnee (Pawnee) lead you east into the tallgrass edge.

• Osage County (Pawhuska)—Oklahoma’s largest by area-fills the northwestern corner of Green Country, with its seat labeled Pawhuska.

• Southward, the OKC approach is framed by Logan (Guthrie), Payne (Stillwater), Kingfisher (Kingfisher), Blaine (Watonga) and Canadian (El Reno).

Lakes such as Kaw and impoundments near Keystone are marked, giving useful river-basin context without clutter.

D. Tulsa Metro and the “Green Country” arc: Washington, Nowata, Rogers, Mayes, Craig, Ottawa, Delaware, Wagoner, Tulsa, Creek, Okmulgee, Muskogee, Cherokee, Adair, Sequoyah

The northeast quadrant is dense with labels and county seats, but the design preserves readability:

• Washington (Bartlesville) and Nowata (Nowata) touch the Kansas border.

• Rogers (Claremore), Mayes (Pryor) and Craig (Vinita) spread east along the Grand River lakes; Ottawa (Miami) and Delaware (Jay) hold the far northeast corner at the Missouri–Arkansas meeting point.

• Tulsa County (Tulsa) is unmistakable; Tulsa’s dot pairs with suburban names nearby, yet the county outline remains clear.

• Wagoner (Wagoner) and Creek (Sapulpa) share the metro’s south and west flanks; Okmulgee (Okmulgee) and Muskogee (Muskogee) continue the southward chain toward the Arkansas River valley.

• Cherokee (Tahlequah) and Adair (Stilwell) occupy the Cookson Hills; Sequoyah (Sallisaw) lines the Arkansas border.

Large water bodies—Grand Lake o’ the Cherokees, Oologah Lake, Fort Gibson Lake, Lake Tenkiller—appear as sky-blue shapes, useful for outdoor planning while keeping the county emphasis.

E. Central Oklahoma & the Capital Region: Oklahoma, Cleveland, Pottawatomie, Lincoln, Logan, Canadian, McClain, Grady

The heart of the map spotlights the Oklahoma City region:

• Oklahoma County (Oklahoma City) is marked with a bold seat dot; the county is compact and ringed by Canadian (El Reno) to the west and Cleveland (Norman) to the south.

• Logan (Guthrie) and Lincoln (Chandler) anchor the north and east approaches; Pottawatomie (Shawnee) extends the metro’s eastern influence.

• McClain (Purcell) and Grady (Chickasha) form the south-west shoulder of the metro.

Interstates appear as thin, legible lines - I-35, I-40, I-44—just enough to connect county seats like Norman, Edmond, Midwest City and Moore without overpowering the county palette.

F. West-to-south central corridor: Canadian, Caddo, Comanche, Stephens, Jefferson, Cotton, Tillman

Following the river-land of western Red Bed plains:

• Caddo (Anadarko) sits between the OKC sphere and the southwest’s defense hub at Comanche County (Lawton).

• Stephens (Duncan), Jefferson (Waurika) and Cotton (Walters) march south to the Red River.

• Tillman (Frederick) closes the line to the west, with Jackson nearby for the Altus area logistics base.

The road-light design keeps these counties easy to scan for county boundaries, tribal areas, and proximity to Texas crossings.

G. Lakes and rivers you can quickly locate

The Arkansas River, Canadian River, North Canadian, Cimarron River, Washita River and the Red River are drawn to give drainage context. Lakes such as Eufaula, Kaw, Keystone, Oologah, Tenkiller, Sardis, Hugo, Broken Bow, Texoma, Thunderbird, Foss and Canton appear in blue with compact labels—great for recreation planning without losing county clarity.

H. South-central “Chickasaw Country”: McClain, Garvin, Murray, Pontotoc, Johnston, Marshall, Carter, Love

The map’s southern midsection provides a detailed county mosaic anchored by the Arbuckle uplift and Lake Texoma:

• McClain (Purcell) leads to Garvin (Pauls Valley) and Murray (Sulphur)—note Sulphur adjacent to Chickasaw National Recreation Area, near blue lake symbols.

• Pontotoc (Ada) lies just east; the typography places Ada centrally for recognition.

• Johnston (Tishomingo) and Marshall (Madill) frame Lake Texoma, whose shoreline is delineated clearly.

• Carter (Ardmore) balances industry and recreation; Love (Marietta) hugs the Texas line with a clean border stroke.

The quiet road styling shows only the primary approach lines, perfect for trip planning between county seats.

I. Southeast “Little Dixie” and the Ouachita front: Atoka, Coal, Pittsburg, Haskell, Latimer, Le Flore, Pushmataha, Choctaw, McCurtain

Moving east the palette becomes a patchwork of wooded hills counties:

• Atoka (Atoka) and Coal (Coalgate) sit north of the Red River plain.

• Pittsburg (McAlester) is one of the larger southeast seats and is centrally labeled.

• Haskell (Stigler) and Latimer (Wilburton) bridge west to the San Bois and Ouachita foothills.

• Le Flore (Poteau) stretches up the Arkansas border with Poteau marked near the Poteau River valley.

• Southward are Pushmataha (Antlers), Choctaw (Hugo) and McCurtain (Idabel), each displayed with their seat dots and clean outlines.

Blue reservoirs such as Hugo Lake, Broken Bow Lake and Sardis Lake punctuate this forested region, beautifully annotated yet unobtrusive.

J. East-central connective counties: Okfuskee, Okmulgee, McIntosh, Seminole, Hughes, Muskogee, Wagoner

These counties cluster around I-40 and the Arkansas River system but remain county-centric:

• Okfuskee (Okemah) and Seminole (Wewoka) carry the central prairies eastward.

• Okmulgee (Okmulgee) and McIntosh (Eufaula) are lake-focused; Lake Eufaula appears prominently.

• Muskogee (Muskogee) is a historic river city, and the county’s name and seat are easy to spot.

• Wagoner (Wagoner) caps the northeast edge of this belt, adjacent to Tulsa County and Fort Gibson Lake.

K. Cross-Timbers and the Prairie-forest transition: Lincoln, Pottawatomie, Seminole, Pontotoc, Hughes

The map shows how county lines intersect the Cross-Timbers zone:

• Lincoln (Chandler) connects OKC’s hinterland to the east.

• Pottawatomie (Shawnee) is the eastern metro anchor.

• Seminole (Wewoka), Pontotoc (Ada) and Hughes (Holdenville) run southward into the wooded hills, with clear, balanced labeling.

L. Northern tier back toward the Kansas line: Woods, Alfalfa, Grant, Kay, Osage, Washington, Nowata, Craig, Ottawa

Finish the loop by sliding north:

• Woods (Alva) and Alfalfa (Cherokee) sit west; their pastel blocks make the county grid easy to memorize.

• Grant (Medford) and Kay (Newkirk) show the classic wheat belt.

• Osage (Pawhuska) sprawls south of Kansas; prairie and Tallgrass Reserve lie within its border.

• The northeastern edge tightens with Washington (Bartlesville), Nowata (Nowata), Craig (Vinita) and Ottawa (Miami)—all distinctly labeled near Missouri and Kansas.
