Wheeler and County Government
Wheeler is the county seat and contains the courthouse, principal county offices, schools, healthcare, and local commerce.
U.S. Route 83 and State Highway 152 intersect in town, connecting north-south Great Plains travel with routes toward Amarillo and Oklahoma.
Shamrock and Route 66
Shamrock is a major southeastern city along Interstate 40 and historic Route 66. The U-Drop Inn, traveler services, commerce, and highway access are prominent local features.
The corridor continues east toward Oklahoma and west toward Amarillo.
Mobeetie and Pioneer History
Mobeetie is a small western city associated with early Panhandle settlement and Fort Elliott. It once served as the county seat and is now known for historic sites and rural heritage.
Current operating hours and event information should be checked before visiting historic facilities.
North Fork Red River and Sweetwater Creek
The North Fork of the Red River and Sweetwater Creek are the county’s major streams. Floodplain, ranch land, cropland, and wildlife habitat occur along their corridors.
Normally shallow or dry channels can rise rapidly after heavy rain, so current weather and road information is required for low-water crossings and unpaved roads.
Agriculture, Ranching, and Energy
The county’s broad plains support cattle ranching and wheat, cotton, and forage crops. Oil and natural-gas production also influences land use and the local economy.
Wells, pipelines, work roads, and private-property boundaries require current industry and property records.

The color version separates Wheeler County from neighboring areas and helps show Wheeler, Shamrock, Mobeetie, streams, prairie, farms, ranches, and energy areas.
Black-and-White Map
The black-and-white map retains the county outline and selected place names for grayscale printing.
Outline Map
