Well, *some* may believe it's the 100th Meridian, but I have always maintained that it's at 97.4° W, along I-35 in Oklahoma.

I've lived on each side of it and it's observable by even an untrained eye - except I've always called it the "tree line" (not the mountainous kind at elevation). To the east, trees, greenery and dark brown soil. To the west, tan shades of earth colors, scrub brush, and red soil.

That's a very glittering generality, but I'm just a 97.4° rebel contra, what can I say?

Well, I was going to agree with you -- it would seem that the 20 in/yr.line would be to the east of the 100th. Then I looked up the actual data and it appears the 100th is about right. Now, for green grass, trees and similar aesthetics, you may want a line further east!
