Brewster County, Texas

Brewster Location Map Texas

The Big Bend region of Texas wouldn’t be complete without Brewster County. It’s the largest county in Texas, stretching across a whopping 6,192 square miles of rugged desert and mountain terrain.

Alpine, the county seat, is a fun little town with a surprising arts scene. But the real star here is Big Bend National Park. It’s breathtaking. The night skies are incredible. You’ve never seen so many stars.

Ranching is still a way of life for many folks out here. It’s not for everyone, but those who love it wouldn’t live anywhere else. The people are as tough and independent as the land itself. It borders Mexico to the south.
