The <a href="/wiki/Salient_(geography)" title="Salient (geography)">panhandle</a> is a square-shaped area bordered by <a href="/wiki/New_Mexico" title="New Mexico">New Mexico</a> to the west and <a href="/wiki/Oklahoma" title="Oklahoma">Oklahoma</a> to the north and east.

Texas was annexed in 1845 from still more westerly land. The <a href="/wiki/Compromise_of_1850" title="Compromise of 1850">Compromise of 1850</a> removed territory north of this line from Texas, and set the border between the Texas Panhandle and the <a href="/wiki/New_Mexico_Territory" title="New Mexico Territory">New Mexico Territory</a> at the <a href="/wiki/103rd_meridian_west" title="103rd meridian west">103rd meridian west</a>. The eastern border at the <a href="/wiki/100th_meridian_west" title="100th meridian west">100th meridian west</a> was inherited from the <a href="/wiki/Adams%E2%80%93On%C3%ADs_Treaty" title="Adams–Onís Treaty">Adams–Onís Treaty</a> of 1819, which defined the border between the United States and <a href="/wiki/New_Spain" title="New Spain">New Spain</a>. <i><a href="/wiki/The_Handbook_of_Texas" class="mw-redirect" title="The Handbook of Texas">The Handbook of Texas</a></i> defines the southern border of <a href="/wiki/Swisher_County,_Texas" title="Swisher County, Texas">Swisher County</a> as the southern boundary of the Texas Panhandle region. </p><p>Its land area is 25,823.89 sq mi (66,883.58 km<sup>2</sup>), or nearly 10% of the state's total. The Texas Panhandle is slightly larger in size than the US <a href="/wiki/State_of_West_Virginia" class="mw-redirect" title="State of West Virginia">state of West Virginia</a>. An additional 62.75 sq mi (162.53 km<sup>2</sup>) is covered by water.

As of the 2010 census, the population density for the region was 16.6 per square mile (6.4/km<sup>2</sup>). However, more than 72% of the Panhandle's residents live in the Amarillo Metropolitan Area, which is the largest and fastest-growing urban area in the region. Despite being geographically the northernmost part of Texas, the Panhandle is distinct from the region commonly called "<a href="/wiki/North_Texas" title="North Texas">North Texas</a>", which is to the south and east. </p><p>West of the <a href="/wiki/Caprock_Escarpment" title="Caprock Escarpment">Caprock Escarpment</a> and North and South of the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_River" title="Canadian River">Canadian River</a> breaks, the surface of the <a href="/wiki/Llano_Estacado" title="Llano Estacado">Llano Estacado</a> is rather flat.
