Define "West Texas".....

[bowhuntntxn]

Anything on the high side of ranger hill is west Texas to me. Midland, Odessa and anything further than that is FAR WESTtexas

[trophy8]

i'm from the western part of the state (albeit Southern Plains) and have always been irked by folks referring to places such as abilene, san angelo, junction, etc as west texas....

west texas/southern plains - any thing up on the caprock from Lubbock south to Big Spring.

Real west Texas - from Big Spring you could draw a straight line southwest to Iraan, Sanderson, etc. Anything west of that line is west Texas.

my 2 cents...

Yes!! Amen!!


Junction?! Give me a break. Abilene I consider central. San Angelo is not west Texas. North of Lubbock I'd say is panhandle/north Texas.
Just because it's west of you doesn't make it west Texas.... Check the map....

I grew up in sweetwater and I have always considered a line at abilene up to Haskell and down thru winters to maybe menard and junction the breaking point. Anything west of that is west tx.

I'd say that's cuttin it in about the right spot.

To me anything west of Noodle Dome Road.

[gspbrad]

Anything West of 83 and South of 380 is West Texas to me.

West of 83 and North of 380 is the Panhandle

Anything East of Tyler is East Texas

I was just discussing this yesterday with a guy in my church. Abilene and brownwood are defintely not west texas.

West Texas - West of Abilene

This is what I have always thought. I used to make my college buddies from Odessa mad when I told them everything West of I35 was West Texas. That got a little defensive.

Lol. I will have to respectfully disagree. Brownwood is cutting it close, but Abilene is West Texas.

I believe someone once defined it as the area West of the Brazos.

[txdukklr]

West of San Antonio

Yes we do

[Boomstick]

West Texas - West of Abilene

Same here

[Coach W]

This

Nope Thats the Guadalupe, Davis, and Glass Mountain Ranges... West Texas is Flat, Dry, and Ugly.

From Plainview North of I 27 is the Texas Panhandle.

North and South borders of West Texas: South of Plainview To I 10 Ozona

East and West borders of West Texas: New Mexico to 100 degree West.

[Smart]

I have always thought of San Angelo/Sonora/ Ozona as the far southeast corner, draw a line straight up to I 20 and move westward. If it irks somebody then so be it...
