Tulsa is located in northeastern Oklahoma, amid the state's "Green Country," where the Great Plains and the Ozark Plateau collide. The Arkansas River, which is large and shallow, passes through the metro area, and there are several lakes, reservoirs, minor rivers, and forested hills to contribute to the scenery. Oklahoma's cultural capital is famed for its museums, cuisine, festivals, odd neighborhoods, and, above all, music, notably country and blues singers.
