Landlocked property can usually be settled through Unity of Title or Easement by Necessity. Either way, someone made the conscience decision to sell that land and you will not need a helicopter to get to it...lol
I was told by an attorney that it is not legal to sell landlocked land in Oklahoma; there has to be an access easement somewhere.
Now, just because there's an easement, that doesn't mean it's practical for access. My dad was forced to allow an easement on some land he owned for a parcel behind it. The guy wanted it right up the middle, and, I gather, was kind of a dick about it, so my dad granted the 12.5' easement on the east property line (the neighboring property had to grant the other half for the easement). That'd be the one that crossed the 20' deep and 50' wide arroyo.
When he sold the place, there still wasn't an access road...
My brother's father-in-law would second that. When he was looking at buying some land around Durant, his wife made him talk to the sheriff about one of the places they were considering.
It got marked off the list after he talked to the sheriff.
Land is cheap....and so is life around the area. Forget about deer hunting on "your" land, since the locals have theirs in the freezer before season begins (I don't blame them either, as many families would go hungry.) Meth labs are common, as are other "elements". The locals hate tourists, which is what you would be. Some went in, and never came out.
I have had family there for over a hundred years. Those that leave seldom go back to visit.

As with anything, there are extremes. Some areas are worse than others, while some are “okay.” Suffice it to say there is more bad than good in that area.
My experience down there is about the same as other have stated, you get a lot riff raff and stuff stolen or tore up. I was always armed and always on point down there.
Man, I had no idea it was that bad there. I've visited down there but was on private acreage so didnt see much else except the woods. I guess that solves that...not looking to get into disputes with meth heads and squatters.
At one time Antlers held the title of murder capital of the US per capita. The pot growers were always raiding other fields it seems.
