Oklahoma City can be considered a major transportation hub for this region of the Great Plains. Three airports, Tinker Air Force Base (southeast of downtown); Will Rogers World Airport (southwest of downtown); and Wiley Post Airport (northwest of downtown) are recognizable by their runways and taxi-ways. The checkerboard street pattern of Oklahoma City and numerous highways that crisscross the city delineate the urban center. Even the downtown core section of the city is easy to identify by the concentration of highly reflective surfaces. Three sizable irregular shaped features, Lake Hefner, Arcadia Lake, and Lake Stanley Draper can be identified northwest, northeast, and southeast respectively around the downtown core. The meandering stream channel and the white sandbars of the Canadian River can be observed southwest of the city. Although it is more difficult to see, a section of the North Canadian River is also visible as it heads eastward through the central part of the downtown before it makes a gentle curve to the northeast. Most of Norman, home of the University of Oklahoma, can be seen south of Oklahoma City (bottom center).
