How did they define the Pandhandle so precisely (down to the specific counties)? Is there some geographic separator, like a river? Or a cultural, demographic divide? Because some of the eastern counties of the Panhandle look very much in the Peninsula (from a pure visual perspective). --Menchi 05:32, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I wouldn't call any of the eastern counties the Panhandle at all. I'd redraw the map boundaries. Mike H 09:44, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The map

I'm removing the map after the edit I made. I asked for the map to be redone, as the easternmost eight counties are definitely not the Panhandle. The easternmost county in the map is where Live Oak is, and I can tell you that's much more northeast Florida, and that isn't even the northeast Florida BOUNDARY. Likewise, Gilchrist County is much more tied to Gainesville, which is decidedly not the Panhandle. Mike H 09:57, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

• When I lived up there - the Panhandle - was defined as those counties west of the Chattahoochee/Apalachicola River. Whoever put Jefferson county in there must be smoking some of that good ole Panhandle weed.--Hokeman 04:37, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
