The Oklahoma Panhandle is a narrow strip of land located in the northwestern part of the state of Oklahoma. It is bordered by Kansas to the north, Colorado to the northwest, and New Mexico to the west. The region is known for its flat terrain, grasslands, and agricultural activities, particularly cattle ranching and wheat farming. This area is part of the larger Great Plains and features a semi-arid climate, which means it experiences hot summers and cold winters. The Panhandle includes several small towns, such as Guymon and Texhoma, and is characterized by its unique cultural heritage, influenced by both Native American and pioneer histories.
