Motley County is the hub from Abilene to Amarillo, and from Wichita Falls to Lubbock. The rolling hills and rough terrain are broken by the many Pease River tributaries.

• Tee Pee City Marker - Located north of U.S.70 on County Road 206, Tee Pee City was founded in 1875 to serve the buffalo hunters and survey parties. The community had a post office from 1879 to 1900, a school (one of the first in the county), a hotel, a saloon, and general store. In 1904, Tee Pee City was closed by the Matador Ranch because of the bad influence on their cowboys.
