OKLAHOMA - GeoGuessr Speedrun in All 50 States | Episode 36 

Having grown up in Oklahoma I feel it is a very underrated state. Some interesting facts about the state include: -One of the most geographically diverse states in the US, it contains 11 ecoregions, more per square mile than any other state. Many think OK is just another flat plains state. :( -There are four mountain ranges, the Ozarks, Ouachita, Arbuckle, and Wichita Mountains. Most of these ranges are ancient. (I grew up at the very edge of the Ozarks) -There are no Natural Lakes in the state. All the lakes are reservoirs and OK has more than any other state. -The state is a cultural crossroads and depending on where you live you may consider yourself culturally part of the South, Great Plains, Southwest or even Midwest. -There are dozens on Native American tribes in the state, but only One Reservation, the Osage. -There are Five Native American Nations, called the Five Civilized Tribes, the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek(Muscogee), Chickasaw, and Seminole. Most of Eastern and Southern OK is their land. -If Chicago Geographer was dropped in a different part of Tahlequah, capital of the Cherokee Nation, he may have seen Cherokee Script, especially on a stop sign. -North of Miami (pronounced more like Miama) there is the ghost town of Picher, a place coated in toxic metals that was just officially declared abandoned in 2009. -There is much more, these are just some of the tidbits I find fascinating. There are many amazing places to visit in the state.

The circular city seal on the left of the street signs is a great indicator for OKC. Tulsa's street signs are much more nondescript.

Even though I've never been to Oklahoma, I remembered Pennsylvania Avenue from the storm chasing videos of the 2013 Moore tornado. It passed just a few miles south of the first location.

I live near Oklahoma City and a good tip is that the street numbers reset after you leave Oklahoma City's huge borders and they snap to the other city's numbering system

This video is OK at best

Enjoying the series! I haven't been to Oklahoma but it surely looks like an interesting place to visit! Keep up the great work CG!

I live in Mayes County, just east of Tulsa. Northeast Oklahoma is my favorite part of the state. I have lived in and around Tulsa pretty much my entire life

Great series - good stuff!

I've really been enjoying this series, keep up the good work. Next up is my home state of Pennsylvania!

The last time I was in Oklahoma my friend and I were driving through to a wedding in Texas. The cops pulled us over (apparently a "random stop"), made us sit in the wet grass on the side of 35, threw everything in the trunk on the ground, ripped the dash apart (never put it back together), then told us to "get the f**k out of Oklahoma and don't come back". Really, I can't do this again at a later date? Oklahoma can burn for all I care. Oh, I almost forgot - our video camera was mysteriously missing when we got to the wedding, as well.

My family and I drove through Oklahoma in 2017 on our way home from the Southwest. We entered the state from Texas on I-40 and got on I-35 in Oklahoma City. My family ate at a Chick-Fil-A in the suburbs of Oklahoma City, and then a few years later on the news we saw something about people who were escaping or taking shelter in an OKC Chick-Fil-A. It looked like it was the one we had eaten at a few years back.

Bros first time in Oklahoma was the panhandle 💀

I am in Oklahoma. In the Norman area for my job. But I have also seen Tulsa and driven through the state going north/south on I35 and the US 69/Indian Nation Turnpike route between Dallas and Tulsa.

Mostly just drove through Oklahoma as well, but made a few stops along route 66, like Pops 66 in Arcadia and tried some cool soda flavors!

What happened to the airport comparisons? I was hoping for international ones like Heathrow (LHR) vs Gatwick (LGW)

Ditto only visit pass through panhandle

McAlester… *shudders*

i live in tulsa so this is fun to watch

Never been to Oklahoma

My last time in oklahoma my mom and I visted the OKC bombing memorial and museum. It was very interesting highly reccomend if you dont know much about it.

perhaps togle between satellite 🛰 view ..

Lived in OK for a few years! It’s definitely got a few hidden gems. OKC is a growing mid-sized city with some cool places to hang, the mountains/hills in the southeast are beautiful, but my favorite place is the Wichita Mountains in the Southwest part of the state

picnic area is not good? wdym😄

Nice video! it’s pronounced like ta-luh-kwaa btw

another state i haven't been to, ok

Oklahoma

Which art museum did you go to? OKCMOA?

I can't believe OK is that flat. As a mountain runner, it's so boring 😂

Vinita

Why not write down the street names at the start? Does that violate some unwritten Geoguessr rule?
