Midland–Odessa

Common card · No. 373153

Midland–Odessa is a metropolitan area located on the Texas High Plains about half-way between El Paso and Fort Worth, Texas. This combined statistical area (CSA) is made up of two metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs - Midland and Odessa) and one micropolitan statistical area (µSA - Andrews), and comprises four counties: Andrews, Ector, Martin, and Midland Counties. The Midland–Odessa area is informally known as the Petroplex and Midessa. In the past, the cities of Midland and Odessa experienced a civic rivalry of bitter competition and political intrigue. Since the early 1990s, the nature of the rivalry has changed into one of friendly competition and economic cooperation. The Midland–Odessa area today is marketed as "Two Cities, no Limits".
