Texas Panhandle
Lone Star rectangle
The Texas Panhandle is the northernmost region of Texas, a rectangular projection extending north from the main body of the state.
The shape resembles the handle of a pan, with Oklahoma to the north and east, New Mexico to the west.
The region is characterized by flat plains, cattle ranching, and oil production: Amarillo is the largest city in the Texas Panhandle.
