When I googled “distance between Oklahoma, TX and Papillion, NE” it dropped the pin on Texas County, OK. I can’t locate “Oklahoma, Texas”.

> [@knoodler](#): > > When I googled “distance between Oklahoma, TX and Papillion, NE” it dropped the pin on Texas County, OK. I can’t locate “Oklahoma, Texas”. That’s weird. I opened Google Maps just now and searched for “Oklahoma, TX” and it went to Texas County, Oklahoma also. I started by thinking it would be fun to go from Norman, OK (home of the OU Sooners) to the Oklahoma, TX that I have passed a sign for on the road. It’s a wide spot in the road northwest of Houston. To get the mileage I did a regular Google search for “Oklahoma, TX” and it brought up that same wide spot, with a map link. I clicked that link and got driving directions from Norman, with mileage. Easy peasy. If anyone cares anymore, searching for “Oklahoma, TX 77354” should work in Google Maps. ---
