Yay for fun with maps! Uber recently released maps of the most commonly driven routes for their drivers. Here is the map for OKC:

I was having some trouble uploading the map on this so here is the link. If someone else can get it to load properly feel free.
Anyway, given the demographics of people who use uber, this map could basically be a primer on where the young, rich, and fabulous people in OKC live or are going. Downtown, Bricktown, and Midtown are well represented. Looks like it is also used pretty heavily along the Western Avenue corridor as well. What surprised me was how much use it gets in Mesta Park/Heritage Hills stretching up into the Paseo area, some of the historical neighborhoods west of Classen, and the area roughly around May and NWX.
Outside of these areas, the airport (for obvious reasons) and a smattering of neighborhood streets in NWOKC and Edmond, most of the city is dark.
Here is also a good read from the Atlantic concerning these uber maps: Uber's Usage Maps Are a Handy Tool for Finding the World's Rich, Young People - Leo Mirani and Herman Wong - The Atlantic Cities
