Northeast Oklahoma, known as Green Country, is a sharp contrast to the western part of the state. Mountains with oak and pine forests rise in the east and settle into a tallgrass prairie where herds of bison graze a veritable ocean of grass. Lakes and rivers are abundant in this region.  Cities such as Tulsa and Bartlesville carry the distinctive mark of oil barons and the influence of art deco architecture, exemplified by grand mansions and Price Tower, Frank Lloyd Wright’s only skyscraper. Route 66 sweeps through northeast Oklahoma, offering scenic delights including the Catoosa Blue Whale, Foyil’s Totem Pole Park, and the magnificent Coleman Theatre in Miami. Previously the heart of Indian Territory, the area is heavily influenced by Native American heritage.

This region is comprised of Adair, Cherokee, Craig, Creek, Delaware, Mayes, McIntosh, Muskogee, Nowata, Okmulgee, Osage, Ottawa, Pawnee, Rogers, Sequoyah, Tulsa, Wagoner, and Washington counties. Sixteen tribal nations are headquartered in this region.
