This isn't scientific by any means, but I always considered the West to start at Amarillo (on I-40 that is). Once I saw those big cowboy boots by the highway and all the ranches, I knew I had made it to the West.
Google "The West Begins Here". It's called a "wayfarer marker" found on the state fair grounds in Huron SD. It looks like a 'historical marker" you find in many states as you travel their roads. What the marker in Huron states makes perfect sense to me especially if you grew up EAST of that marker as I did. Please check it out to resolve many of the questions on this very interesting forum thread.

Then again in Texas isn't there something like Dallas is the furthest west city in the Southeast and Ft Worth is the furthest West city in the Southwest.
I think I described it pretty well. I guess U haven't done much road travel in this country? If you want to exhume it from the SD state fairgrounds maybe there might be a few state cops ready to throw you in jail...it's a mean Red state? LOL
