Wilbarger County, Texas

Wilbarger Location Map Texas

Wilbarger County is up in northern Texas. The Red River forms the northern border of Wilbarger County, separating Texas from Oklahoma. Vernon, the county seat, is the main hub. It has that classic small-town Texas feel.

Cattle and farming are economic drivers. The soil’s rich, perfect for growing wheat and cotton. Oil’s been a blessing and a curse over the years. Boom and bust, you know how it goes.

Santa Rosa Lake is a popular spot for fishing and camping. The Vernon Burnin’ bike ride draws cyclists from all over. Summers are scorching. Winters can be surprisingly harsh. But the folks here wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s home.
