Low elevation is indicated with green color. In Oklahoma, the lowest elevation lies mostly in the eastern portion of the state, with the lowest elevation being located in the southeast corner of the state. The major Oklahoma cities of Tulsa and Broken Arrow lie in this low-elevation portion of the state.
Mid-elevation is colored with warmer colors like yellow, orange, and red. Most of the Great Plains which run through central Oklahoma lie in this mid-elevation levels. Eastern high areas of the Ozark Plateau and Ouachita Mountains are also at middle levels of elevation. Oklahoma City, Norman, and Lawton all lie in this elevation range.
High areas are colored with blue and purple, and white is used to represent Oklahoma's highest lands. This high area is very distinctly located in the high plains of Oklahoma's panhandle. Oklahoma's highest point is Black Mesa at an elevation of 1516 m (or 4,975 ft) and is located in the northwest corner of the panhandle.
