You could fit: Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Manhattan, San Francisco and Miami inside OKC (with room to spare)! Oklahoma City legal boundaries covers over 650 square miles.

That's nice:
Caveat: Jacksonville is located in Duval County, and there are no unincorporated areas, e.g., the entire county (with the exceptions of some very small beach areas, and one tiny westside area) are also the city limits of Jacksonville. There is no "Jacksonville City Police" but there is a sizable Sheriff's Office that provides county-wide service.
Driving east on I-10 toward Jax, you'll see this sign; note the pine trees. You'll see 'em for miles. And miles. And miles. Probably 75% of 'the city' is nothing but acres and acres of standing pine forest.
Final trivia: Jax is split by the St. John's River, one of only two in the world that flow south-to-north. Gold Star to name the other one.
