Cotton, wheat, cattle and poultry

Wikipedia's Cotton County article says agriculture has long been central, especially cotton, wheat, cattle and poultry. Oil and gas became a major industry in the late 1910s. That means grain trucks and cotton modules in harvest season, cattle pots year-round, poultry trucks and oilfield units. A loaded cotton hauler is wide and tall and does not fare well if the shoulder gives way.

Monsoon-like springs, then drought

Wikipedia's Walters article says monsoon-like rains are common in the spring, and drought can occur in other months. Heavy rain turns field edges and dirt shoulders to soft mud, and a loaded trailer can sink up to the frame. In dry stretches, dust and brittle tires cause the next round of roadside calls. Terrain here is grassland, oak savannah and rolling hills on the western edge of the Cross Timbers, so some stretches have limited sight lines for a stopped truck.

A county seat with a history of moving

Wikipedia says Walters was organized August 6, 1901, as McKnight, in Indian Territory, and later renamed Walter and then Walters. Cotton County was formed August 28, 1912, and Walters won the county seat election on December 2, 1912, by 282 votes over Temple. A county seat means courthouse traffic, deliveries and school buses, plus the occasional oversize load going through town. A stuck wide load in a county seat needs a plan before anyone touches a tow strap.
