The United States of America is a federal union of 50 states and a capital district. The state of Oklahoma is in the south central part of the country north of Texas. The U.S. Coast Guard Sector Lower Mississippi River maintains aids to navigation on the Arkansas River waterway in the eastern part of Oklahoma but those aids do not qualify as lighthouses. This page includes one private lighthouse found on an Oklahoma lake. During the 19th Century the eastern half of the state was set aside for Indian reservations. The western half was organized as Oklahoma Territory in 1890 and the state with its present borders was admitted to the union as the 46th state in 1907. To be listed here a lighthouse must actually serve as an aid to navigation. This means it must be located on a navigable lake or river and must be lit as a navigational aid at least during the local boating season. ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights.
