Texas is the second-largest state in the United States, with an area of and a population of 26.05 million in 254 counties. This covers an area wide by long. Due to its location and size, it is a part of a large number of unique geological regions, including the piney woods of East Texas, the plains in the Panhandle, the mountains in far West Texas, and hundreds of miles of coastline. There are several different methods used to describe the geographic and geological differences within the state, and there are often subdivisions within a region which more accurately describe both the terrain and the culture. Because there is no single standard for subdividing the regions of Texas, many accepted areas either overlap or seem to contradict others. All are included for completeness. ==Specific geographical regions== ''These are generally accepted regions; however, many overlap each other.'' * Big Bend * Blackland Prairies * Brazos Valley * Canadian River Valley * Central Texas * Concho Valley * Coastal Bend * East Texas * Edwards Plateau * Gulf Coast (of the U.S.) * Llano Estacado〔Art Leatherwood, "LLANO ESTACADO," Handbook of Texas Online (), accessed May 02, 2012.
