The terrain transitions from Nebraska's agricultural plains through Oklahoma's mixed grassland and river valleys to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Lake Texoma (formed by the Red River) may be visible on the southern horizon during the descent phase, though it depends on exact routing and altitude.
