Much of eastern Oklahoma is forested and wet, and mountainous in the southeastern part (sort of like the mountains in Arkansas and Missouri). Much of eastern Texas is largely pine forest, very wet, and somewhat hilly and very pretty, but not mountainous. The Big Thicket National Preserve northeast of Houston is a nearly inpenetrable wilderness of pine/hardwood forest, alligators, swamps, etc. Eastern Texas and Oklahoma surprise visitors. Those who just come into these two states on interstates skirt much of the eastern/southern landscapes (although I think I-20 and I-30 in northeast Texas hit some of the northern extent of the piney woods in some spots.)
Edit: In looking at Google Earth, it looks like I-40 and I-44 in Oklahoma catch some of the eastern landscapes as well.
