Cimarron City is a small community about 25 miles north of Oklahoma City.  It lies just north of the Cimarron River.  South of the river is the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant made famous by the movie Silkwood.  The plant has been closed since 1975.  There are no signs on the building but it has a high fence around it and cars in the parking lot that indicates it is still being monitored.

Karen Silkwood worked at the plant and died in a one car accident a few miles south of the Cimarron River.  It is a little known fact that Silkwood, her roommate Sherri Ellis and her boyfriend Drew Stephens had all been tested for plutonium exposure at Los Alamos in New Mexico only two days before her death.
