Terrell County, Texas

Terrell County sits in the Chihuahuan Desert of West Texas. The Rio Grande River forms part of its southern border with Mexico. This place is huge with over 2,300 square miles.
But the thing is that hardly anyone lives here. Sanderson, the county seat, has fewer than 1,000 residents. It’s remote. The landscape is rugged and beautiful, with deep canyons and stark mesas.
Ranching is big business here. So is hunting. The county’s history is tied to the railroad, which brought people and commerce to this isolated region. If you’re looking for solitude, you’ll definitely find it here.
