It would be appropriate to use the cross-hatch designation for Oklahoma as a whole and on at least the northern part of Texas. Text clearly states that western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle have obvious affinities with the Midwest in history, culture climate, and economic activity.

If I could, I would crosshatch the part of Texas that includes only the section west of US 75 from Dallas, northward to the Oklahoma state line, north of Interstate 20 to Monahans, and east of Texas State Highway 18 north to the New Mexico state line. That would put Midland-Odessa, Abilene, Fort Worth, and Dallas on the border of the region that has significant "Midwestern" character.

[edit] Kentucky/West Virginia

The inclusion of even portions of KY and WV has been debated on the MIdwestern talk page. What is the general consensus here? To me, the treatment of these border states on this map is highly consistent with the other regional maps and should be preserved as is.
