Reply to comment by bulksalty in ELI5: Why does the top left part of the Texas border appear straight edged and angled on maps? by Moggy-Man
"The straight borders are specific latitude and longitude lines, for example the panhandle is formed by the 100th and 103rd meridians on either side up to 36 degrees 30 minute latitude for the northern border."
Okay now that actually makes sense to me and my laypersons knowledge of how map borders are formed.
