Oklahoma is a land of contrasts; rolling plains, tall grass prairies, heavily
wooded hills, and mountains. Eastern Oklahoma is hilly and mountainous with
many clear lakes, rivers, and streams. Central Oklahoma is taken over by rolling
prairies and red-soil-tinted lakes and streams. Western Oklahoma is a rugged
land dotted by state parks with lodges and camping areas in secluded places.
The full range of Oklahoma's history can be seen in forts, battlegrounds, log
cabins, a homesteader's sod house, capitols of the Indian nations, and mansions
of early Oklahoma merchants and oilmen. Modern Oklahoma gives a glimpse of
what frontier America was like, yet offers metropolitan advantages in its cities.
