Elevation Map of Oklahoma

This Oklahoma topographic elevation map shows the Sooner State in 24 terraced elevation bands. The scale runs from 88 meters (289 ft) up to 1,516 meters (4,974 ft). Each band steps through the relief in sequence, so the map reads like a physical relief model. Lowlands appear in deep greens, middle elevations warm into golds and reds, and the highest terrain fades into grays and whites.

Oklahoma covers about 181,037 square kilometers (69,898 sq mi). Black Mesa caps the panhandle with lava rock from an ancient flow, while the Ouachita Mountains wrinkle the opposite corner of this topographic map.

Highest Point in Oklahoma

Black Mesa, at 4,974 ft (1,516 m), is the highest point in Oklahoma. On this topographic map, it anchors the pale summit end of the elevation scale.

Lowest Point in Oklahoma

The lowest point in Oklahoma is the Little River in the southeast corner, at an elevation of 289 ft (88 m). On the relief map, this terrain fills the deep green base of the color scale.

Oklahoma Map Datasets

I prepared this relief map with elevation data from the AWS Terrain Tiles dataset. The dataset builds on the NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) along with other open topographic sources, and it serves global elevation data as map tiles that anyone can access.

The map spaces its 24 elevation bands with a blend of two methods. Half of the spacing follows equal elevation steps. The other half follows equal land area, a technique known as histogram equalization.

Why blend them?

A fixed interval scale would leave flatter regions sitting in a single color, which hides their topography. On the other hand, full histogram equalization would push a quarter of the land into summit tones. The blend lets this elevation map use the entire relief palette while the legend stays honest. Each label marks the true elevation behind its band, which is why the values are not evenly spaced.
