Deaf Smith County, Texas

Deaf Smith Location Map Texas

Named after a Texas Revolution hero, Deaf Smith County sits up in the Panhandle. People here are friendly, hardworking, and tough as old boots. Palo Duro Canyon, not so far away, is like a mini Grand Canyon.

Hereford is the county seat, and they’re not shy about their beef. They call themselves the “Beef Capital of the World”. Bold claim, but they back it up. This is cattle country without a doubt.

But it’s not all cows. They grow a ton of corn, wheat, and sugar beets too. The landscape is mostly flat, but don’t let that fool you. There’s beauty in those wide-open spaces. You can see for miles and miles.
