Chet Garner, the host of the popular series “The Daytripper,” recently made an Instagram post that has Texans talking. For the post, Garner took a map of Texas and divided it into several distinct regions, naming each one. That’s all well and good, of course, since everyone knows the Lone Star State is the biggest state in the continental US, and, as such, it contains multiple geographical regions. But is it so easy to mark the borders for each region? Some Instagram users disagree with Garner’s lines on where one region ends and another begins.
“Trying to make a map that identifies the real regions of Texas as the locals know them,” Garner wrote. “Adding places like ‘Big Country’ and ‘South East Texas’ which is totally different from ‘East Texas.’” Garner’s map includes the usual region names like the Panhandle and the Hill Country, but he decided to make up one entirely new name. Garner said, “I also made up a region called the ‘Heartland’ because there is no other good name for the Brenham/Bryan area.”
