Module Name: Twin Buttes
Designed By: Steve Gillett - 2002
Overview:

This scene models the terrain found along US 412 west of Orienta, Major County, Oklahoma, near the ATSF line. Called the Glass Mountains, these red earth buttes with cap-rock rims of gypsum and sparkling selenite crystals rise 80 scale feet from the basin floor. They are part of the Blaine Escarpment, a large gypsum formation extending across much of western Oklahoma along the Cimarron River. The side of one of the buttes is cut out for a western Oklahoma oil well location.

The red earth used on the modules is real Oklahoma red soil collected from an oil well location near Woodward, Oklahoma
