Sounds a lot like Oklahoma. We have towns such as Okemah, Wetumka and Miami (and no, it's not pronounced like the Florida city but instead Miam-mah...I kid you not)
I always liked okmulgee and muskogee, and checotah (maybe because of carrie underwood; so hot). And no, you're not kidding, I knew how to pronoucne miami at one time.
