The Big Reveal: A Landmass You Can Wrap Your Head (and Maybe a Lasso) Around
According to the folks at the U.S. Census Bureau (the official keepers of all things land-area-related), Oklahoma County stretches across a whopping 708.9 square miles. That's a pretty decent chunk of land, if you ask me.
To put that in perspective:
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
- That's about the size of Rhode Island (cue tiny state jokes).
- You could fit 4.5 million football fields in Oklahoma County (though that might make watching an actual game a bit tricky).
- If you were a particularly determined squirrel, and could somehow maintain a constant running speed, it would take you about 19 days to traverse the entire perimeter of Oklahoma County (not recommended, squirrels. Nuts are much easier to chase).
A Land of Many Faces (and Square Miles)
It's important to note that not all of Oklahoma County is solid ground. There's also a sprinkle of water scattered throughout, totalling about 9.6 square miles. So, if you're looking for a refreshing dip after your epic squirrel run, you're in luck!
