The transition from trees and hills to dusty plains happens somewhere around Tulsa.
I don't really think of Oklahoma as being "the South". Oklahoma, like Texas, is kind of its own thing.
Lots of injun names and most of the state is dry plains. The whole Native American thing in Oklahoma really makes it different from any southern state.

What about the states that they came from? Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, and so forth?
There's a lot of southern tendencies in Oklahoma, the topography of where the Ozark foothills turn into the Southern Plains is about 10-15 miles west of Tulsa tracking to the northeast.
OKC is just trash and O&G money. Pretty much the lakes and Ozark foothills are the western border for me. In Texas, Dallas sometimes feels southern but it's not. It's the gateway to the Great American Southwest. Paris, TX would be the clear cut line in TX, and follow it due south to Houston.
