About Morton

Morton is a small, quiet community on the Texas High Plains, serving as the seat of Cochran County near the New Mexico border. Surrounded by vast cotton fields and open prairie, it offers a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle where neighbors look out for one another. You will find everyday essentials centered around the town square, while a short 20-minute drive north along Highway 214 takes you to Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge, famous for its scenic salt lakes and migrating sandhill cranes. For anyone looking for calm country living and plenty of room to breathe, Morton provides a classic West Texas setting.
