This mural depicting scenes from the 1889 Oklahoma Land Run is on the south side of the Communications Building on the UCO campus. It is just north of Broncho Lake.
On the very left is a man taking photos, followed by a man and a rearing horse. Most of the pictures are horses and covered wagons. Clouds, shrubbery, and a sun are some of the items also shown in the mural. The primary colors used are blue, yellow, and white, closely resembling the UCO school colors.
