Kermit and County Government
Kermit is the county seat and contains the courthouse, principal county offices, schools, healthcare, commerce, and oilfield-service businesses.
State Highway 18 and other regional roads connect Kermit with surrounding oil fields and neighboring counties.
Wink and Southern Winkler County
Wink is a small city in southern Winkler County with a history tied to railroad and petroleum development. It lies southeast of Kermit near routes toward Monahans and Ward County.
Desert plains, ranch land, oilfield roads, and industrial facilities surround the city.
Permian Basin Energy Activity
Winkler County lies within the Permian Basin, one of the leading oil and gas producing regions in the United States. Drilling, production, transportation, maintenance, and related services strongly influence the local economy and land use.
Wells, pipelines, work roads, and restricted areas change over time, so current industry and property records are required for field operations.
Monahans Sandhills and Dunes
Monahans Sandhills State Park protects part of a much larger dune system extending across Ward and Winkler counties. Texas Parks and Wildlife states that the park contains 4,717 acres of sand dunes.
Wind continually reshapes the dunes. Off-road travel, private-property access, and vehicle use require current agency and landowner rules.
Arid Climate and Outdoor Conditions
Winkler County has a dry climate, hot summers, strong winds, dust, and long distances between services.
Travelers should check water, fuel, weather, road conditions, and communications coverage before entering remote areas.
