An Entity of Type: settlement, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

West Texas is a loosely defined region in the U.S. state of Texas, generally encompassing the arid and semiarid lands west of a line drawn between the cities of Wichita Falls, Abilene, and Del Rio. No consensus exists on the boundary between East Texas and West Texas. While most Texans understand these terms, no boundaries are officially recognized and any two individuals are likely to describe the boundaries of these regions differently. Walter Prescott Webb, American historian and geographer, suggested that the 98th meridian separates East and West Texas; Texas writer A.C. Greene proposed that West Texas extends west of the Brazos River. Use of a single line, though, seems to preclude the use of other separators, such as an area—Central Texas. Unlike East Texas, West Texas is not general

  • L'ouest du Texas est une région dont les paysages ont plus de points communs avec ceux des États du Sud-Ouest des États-Unis (Californie, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, Nouveau-Mexique ou Oklahoma) qu'avec le reste de l'État texan. Cette zone est située dans le nord du désert de Chihuahua. Les hautes montagnes qui composent la zone ont un climat de nuits froides et de journées chaudes. (fr)
  • West Texas is a loosely defined region in the U.S. state of Texas, generally encompassing the arid and semiarid lands west of a line drawn between the cities of Wichita Falls, Abilene, and Del Rio. No consensus exists on the boundary between East Texas and West Texas. While most Texans understand these terms, no boundaries are officially recognized and any two individuals are likely to describe the boundaries of these regions differently. Walter Prescott Webb, American historian and geographer, suggested that the 98th meridian separates East and West Texas; Texas writer A.C. Greene proposed that West Texas extends west of the Brazos River. Use of a single line, though, seems to preclude the use of other separators, such as an area—Central Texas. Unlike East Texas, West Texas is not generally considered to be part of the American South, and the dry, desert climate is often more associated with the American Southwest. West Texas is often subdivided according to distinct physiographic features. The portion of West Texas that lies west of the Pecos River is often referred to as "Far West Texas" or the "Trans-Pecos", a term first introduced in 1887 by Texas geologist Robert T. Hill. The Trans-Pecos lies within the Chihuahuan Desert, and is the most arid portion of the state. Another part of West Texas is the Llano Estacado, a vast region of high, level plains extending into Eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle. To the east of the Llano Estacado lies the “redbed country” of the Rolling Plains and to the south of the Llano Estacado lies the Edwards Plateau. The Rolling Plains and the Edwards Plateau subregions act as transitional zones between eastern and western Texas. (en)
  • Il Texas occidentale (West Texas in inglese) è una regione dello Stato del Texas. In genere comprende un clima desertico e un clima steppico ad ovest di una linea tracciata tra le città di Fort Worth e Del Rio. Non c'è consenso sul confine tra l'est e l'ovest del Texas. Walter Prescott Webb, uno storico e geografo statunitense, ha suggerito che il 98º meridiano ovest separa l'est e l'ovest del Texas; uno scrittore del Texas chiamato A.C. Greene ha proposto che il Texas occidentale si estende ad ovest del fiume Brazos. (it)
  • 西德克薩斯（West Texas）是指美国德克萨斯州的西半部，通常西德克薩斯的範圍包括威奇托福尔斯、阿比林和德尔里奥等地以西的干旱和半干旱土地。 虽然大多数德克萨斯州人都聽說過西德克薩斯和之類的說法，但東德克薩斯和西德克萨斯之间的边界並不明朗，官方也沒有劃定過西德克薩斯和东德克萨斯的邊界。美国历史学家和地理学家認為，西德克薩斯和东德克萨斯應該以西經98度線為界；德克薩斯作家AC Greene認為布拉索斯河以西屬於西得克萨斯。 。 (zh)
