I wonder what part of Oklahoma it is.
I thought a descendant of Ben Cartwright would be #1.
Ozarks. Northern part.
I thought that show took place in Nevada.
Hillary Clinton is, once again, asserting that if she wasn’t cheated and crossed by those stupid Americans, she would be #1 on the list - having then owned 100% of the US, Haiti, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the assumed Mexico and Canada because she thinks that they are part of this whole thing too.
It’s called “the Osage.” North central. NW of Tulsa about 50 miles or so, and then on to the Kansas border. It is a bit of a checkerboard, but there are lots of contiguous areas.
The part between Kansas and Texas.
My dad was born in Beaver County. I see that’s east of Beaver.
Pawhuska, OK
I wonder what happened to Ted Turner. He used to be on of the top land owners.
The Drummond Family is STILL kicking Jeff Bezos @ss. I can live with that!
Off to buy more Pioneer Woman Merchandise! Thanks for the inspiration to keep Bezos below them! ;)
He’s only down to #2.
Sorry, please disregard what I was wondering about Ted Turner.
Almost everything in Oklahoma is east of Beaver County!
Close test town is Pawhuska
It’s in the tall grass prairie country. Cattle and oil. The Ozarks are to the east, Permian redbeds to the west, Flinthills to the north and Crosstimbers to the south....kind of.
Just a guess: That was before he married Jane.
Actually Osage county is a bit west of the Ozarks
