Gaines County, Texas

Gaines County is true West Texas. It’s right on the New Mexico border, flat as a pancake and dry as a bone. Oil is king here. Pump jacks cover the landscape.
Seminole is the biggest town and county seat. It’s named after Seminole Indians who once called this place home. It’s not all dust and oil though.
Gaines County has some surprises. Like the Gaines County Museum, packed with history of the Comanches people. Agriculture is still important too. Peanuts and cotton fields stretch to the horizon.
