First of all, pull up a map and get a visual for what I'm asking.
Where does the Panhandle start and end on the south side?
Is it a straight line across where the eastern border turns east following the Red River or a straight line across where the western border turns west towards New Mexico? This is a big difference in area. If its the eastern side that dictates it, then Lubbock and Plainview are not in the panhandle. If it's the western side that dictates it then Midland and Big Springare in the panhandle.
Is is somewhere in between?
I've certainly never thought of Midland being in the Panhandle and doubt if anyone else does either, but if Lubbock is in then where is the line of delineation? When I think of the Panhandle I think of Amarillo, Canyon, Hereford, Pampa, Dumas, etc. I've never considered Lubbock to be the panhandle, but I recently saw a members post that considered it to be. It got me to thinking....where is the line?
Thoughts?
