Uh , I gotta differ, you visit any place west of Abilene , (and you have-Made a trip to San Saba) its pretty southwest, especially the tranz pecos. ide draw the official N/S line as anywhere west of hwy 83, that runs from Canada to Laredo.

And pate used to take 2 days to see it all, at the old site west of Ft worth-and 2016 makes 20 yrs since it was last there. If im "on mission" I can scan the whole thing in 4-5 hrs, this yr there were 2 36 chevy pickups and a spare cab, No spare 34-8 fenders anywhere.

Fort Worth claims to be 'Where the West Begins' because many years ago someone in the US Geo Service was tasked with determining where the 'west' was. They picked a longitude line, said that was it, and the line ran right through Fort Worth. Or at least close to it.

In Oklahoma this line is known as the 'Indian Meridian' and is 97d, 14m, 33sec. degrees Long. Fort Worth is also on this Longitude.

And everything west of that is west.

But to be practical you really don't start feeling the southwest until you get at least to San Saba or Sweetwater.
