On here I see that it is the entire Oklahoma panhandle. What the fuck is that????[/quote] Does anybody know??? Zoom in on the Oklahoma panhandle. It's been bugging the fuck out of me since we flew over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the land of pie charts and radar screens. I have a cousin that lives in the pan handle but haven't heard from her in ages, wish I new how to reach her or I would ask.

Most of the ares in the plains require irrigation in the form of big ass sprinklers that go in a LARGE circle with several sparying heads on them. And only the areas that get water grow. Look at Westeren Kansas and other baren areas. You will begin to recognize. In Kansas most of these fields are Sugar Beats, Wheat and Sunflowers. I will assume the same for Okla. I think it is called center pivot irrigation [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_City,_Kansas"]Irrigated fields[/url] [img]http://www.gly.uga.edu/railsback/CTW/GardenCityAllSlide.jpeg[/img] [img]http://www.gly.uga.edu/railsback/CTW/Center-pivotIrrigation.jpeg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BengalBacker Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Thanks, that makes sense. I still wonder about the perfectly rectangular gray appearance of the land that the circles are on in the panhandle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
