where was oklahoma filmed

Oklahoma! was filmed mainly in Arizona, not Oklahoma. The key locations were the San Rafael Valley, along with areas around Nogales, Sonoita, Amado, Canelo, and Elgin in Arizona.

Filming spots

• San Rafael Valley, Arizona.
• Nogales, Arizona.
• Sonoita, Arizona.
• Amado, Arizona.
• Canelo and Elgin, Arizona.

Why there

The production wanted open plains, green grass in season, and dramatic skies that fit the story’s look, and southern Arizona offered that landscape.

One-liner

So despite the title, the movie was largely an Arizona shoot.
