Can someone give me the approximate boundaries of what is considered the CAP ROCK.

Thanks.

Look at a satellite image during a clear day and you can see it. It's about a 1000 foot rapid rise in elevation from east to west. It seperates the western 2/3 of the TX panhandle from the eastern 1/3 and heads south from there.

It shows up pretty good on the map at this link.
