BIrd, The movie version of the "Grapes of Wrath" is one of the primary sources of "information" that shapes the general impression many folks have of Oklahoma. It is almost as accurate of a way of learning about a state as watching "The Wizard of OZ" to learn about Kansas.

Western (shoot'em up) movies supposedly set in Oklahoma or the Indian Territories prior to statehood frequently have large high mountains or even snow capped mountains in the scenic shots. I'm sure you recall all those magnificent ranges prior to their inexplicable loss (can't seem to find them on maps or by driving or flying.)

While searching these days one may see lots of horse property fenced with vinyl fencing, though.
