Wheeler County, Texas
Wheeler County is up in the Texas Panhandle. It’s right on the eastern edge, bordering Oklahoma. Wide open spaces define this place. The wind never seems to stop blowing.
Ranching is big business here. So is oil and gas. Wheeler, the county seat, is a small town with a lot of character. The courthouse is a beauty.
Mobeetie, once known as the “Mother City of the Panhandle,” has seen better days. But it has some great history. The county’s population is small, just a few thousand folks. It’s simple living at its finest.
