Opuntia fragilis is strongly associated with sandy soils. In Nebraska, for example, it has a disjunct distribution. It occurs in the Sandhills in the norhern part of the state, along the sand-bottomed rivers in the west, and in the Sandstone Prairies in the southeast corner, but pretty much nowhere in between. Where conditions suit it, it can be very abundant, to the point of being a menace. Where they don't, it is entirely absent."
Great explaination KSBaptisia. I must say one thing, I might have mistaken the region I am in, the soil here is red. Astonishingly red. It is clay I believe. Regardless, your explanation cleared up my concern. Oklahoma really is amazing, It is the meeting point of several major geographic regions. This causes some strange mixtures of plants.
