Upton County, Texas

The wide-open spaces of West Texas define Upton County. It’s where the sky seems endless and the horizon stretches forever. Oil pumps dot the landscape, nodding rhythmically day and night.
Ranching still plays a big role here too. The county seat, Rankin, is a small town with a lot of heart. You’ll find Upton County about halfway between Midland and Fort Stockton.
It’s hot and dry most of the year. But the people are warm and welcoming. There’s a certain rugged beauty to this land that grows on you. If you like peace and quiet, Upton County might just be your kind of place.
