In Twin Peaks Part 18 on Showtime, there is a brief establishing shot of the city limit sign for Odessa, Texas. This is shown just after Richard/Cooper leaves the hotel where he and Linda/Diane stayed. This location is actually in Texas and thanks to Google Maps, I have some details from the area.

I recently shared how the aerial footage of the FBI jet in flight from Twin Peaks Parts 7 and 9 was taken from promotional footage provided by Gulfstream Aerospace. The interiors for this location were shot using a set provided by Air Hollywood located in Pacoima, California. Here’s how I discovered this location.
