As mentioned above, 277 would be a solid East -West Boundary that would end up with Northern boundary in San Angelo, and then making a line straight over to Midland/Odessa and on to NM. I'm pretty sure most folks would accept that. But then again you always have the people who argue that Lubbock is West Texas, and it damn sure isn't. Of course I'm from West of The Pecos, so I think anything on the other side of the river is questionable.
IMHO the railroad overpass where 67 leaves Santa Anna heading to Ballinger marks the Easternmost point in West TexasVP at Pierce and Pierce said:Anything north of Snyder and Lamesa and Seminole is The Plains. I do consider Abilene to be the furthest point east of West Texas.fuzzyfan said:
Abilene south to Del Rio. Abilene to Lubbock. Pecos to Marathon.
I dont know about that. That is a little far east of West Texas in my eyes. Ballinger is a the edge of hill country in my eyes. Santa Anna is too far east to me. Ballinger has small cliffs and rocky terrain, too much water and vegetation for West Texas.GordonWood said:IMHO the railroad overpass where 67 leaves Santa Anna heading to Ballinger marks the Easternmost point in West TexasVP at Pierce and Pierce said:Anything north of Snyder and Lamesa and Seminole is The Plains.

of course there is civilization in West Texas! However, if the discussion is cultural, rather than geographical, the line has to be drawn further east, based on the following evidence!jja79 said:
Are you saying west Texas isn't civilization?
I asked my 95 year old mother who moved to Balmorhea 74 years ago her thought. Sterling City down to Barnhart down to Ozona

I think the definitions many are using apply to Far West Texas. Also disagree with those who think The Plains are not West Texas. Also think much of South Texas is West Texas.GordonWood said:IMHO the railroad overpass where 67 leaves Santa Anna heading to Ballinger marks the Easternmost point in West TexasVP at Pierce and Pierce said:Anything north of Snyder and Lamesa and Seminole is The Plains.
