The Most Confusing Texas Panhandle Road Is In The Heart Of Amarillo

If you're asking for directions in Amarillo, Texas, there's one road that can lead to a little more confusion than most. When you mention its name, the most common reaction is, "Which one?" It's a fragmented stretch of road in Amarillo that goes by the name of...

Wolflin Avenue.

Why Is Wolflin Avenue In Amarillo, Texas So Confusing?

When you're driving across Amarillo, it isn't uncommon for you to find yourself on Wolflin Ave, turn onto a different road, and later find yourself back on Wolfin Ave again. It can be enough to make you scratch your head and wonder how it happened, but then you look at a map.

From overhead, it's a little crazy.

Where Is Wolflin Avenue In Amarillo, Texas?

We'll start with the Wolflin Ave that intersects with Coulter. Pay attention to the right side of the screenshot.

This is the first time that Wolflin Ave just kind of...ends. You'll wind up on Plains Blvd (which ends up becoming 10th) or hooking a U-turn onto the I-40 frontage road. Don't worry. Like a film franchise that can't pass up the opportunity at a cash grab,  you'll soon be back on Wolflin Ave for the sequel.

This stretch of Wolflin Ave doesn't last very long before you find yourself having to navigate your way around I-40. You might think you've reached the end of Wolflin Avenue, and you would be wrong. Of course, there's going to be more Wolflin for you to enjoy.

Wolflin Ave Near Wolflin Square In Amarillo, Texas

This final stretch of Wolflin Ave picks up just after Paramount/Julian and continues until Van Buren. Along the way, you'll find a lot of restaurants, an elementary school, and Wolflin Square.

So why is Wolflin split up like a new limited series on Netflix? Looking at the maps, I'm led to believe I-40 is to blame. Every time there's a split, I-40 is nearby. As it winds through the city, you can see it causing a bit of havoc on more than one of our roads.

The next time you're giving directions to someone and you have to mention Wolflin Ave, be sure and tell them which one.
