So I was looking around on google maps, and came across a massive boulder field in south-eastern Oklahoma. I've done a ton of research on the area, and have concluded that it has never been climbed, or at least not documented.

Very interested in finding someone who has climbed there, or has been there or knows anything about the area.

It is not against the rules. Love to see some pics. I am heading to Tulsa later this month. Love to find out more.

I actually live about 4 hours away. Anybody have any idea on how I could find and contact the owner of the land? There's no address associated with it that I can find.

I did find this on Wikipedia though.

"Logging and cattle ranching were the valley’s first and only major industries. Timber companies logged the valley for its valuable hardwood and pine trees. After logging ceased the valley became home to the immense Basket Ranch, operated by the Basket family. Several other families lived in the valley and worked for the Baskets, some on a full-time basis, and some periodically. Notable among these were the Rember and Pettijohn families. Regardless of family affiliation, all residents of the valley worked together for mutual benefit when a large labor force was needed such as when baling hay or rounding up cattle. When the Basket Family sold their property and moved from the valley, most of the other families followed. Johns Valley has had no permanent residents since the mid-1950s."
