Lipscomb County, Texas
Lipscomb County sits way up in the Texas Panhandle, right on the Oklahoma border. It’s about as remote as you can get in Texas. The whole county has fewer than 3,000 people.
Ranching is the name of the game here. You’ll see more cattle than people most days. The county seat, also called Lipscomb, is tiny. Less than 50 people call it home.
Wolf Creek runs through the county, providing a bit of green in the sea of grass. The wind blows hard up here. It’s great for wind energy, not so great for your hairdo. But the people are used to the extremes.
