Fuel and Propane Delivery in Briscoe County, TX
Briscoe County is home ground for Silverton Oil Company. Our headquarters at 1253 County Rd 13 sits right here in Silverton, the county seat, and we have been serving this county’s fuel and propane needs since we opened in 1972. If you are a Briscoe County customer, you are our neighbor, and that means something to us.
Briscoe County had a population of 1,435 as of the 2020 census. Silverton, the county seat, had 629 residents in that same count. Quitaque is the county’s other incorporated city, sitting about 17 miles southeast of Silverton on State Highway 86. This is a small, tight community: farming and ranching land, with families that have worked the same ground for multiple generations.
About Briscoe County
Briscoe County sits along the eastern edge of the Llano Estacado, where the high plains give way to the breaks and canyons carved by the Tule River and its tributaries. Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway, a 17,500-acre state park, is located in Briscoe County near Quitaque. The park is home to the Texas State Bison Herd, descendants of the southern plains bison that Charles Goodnight helped preserve in the late 1800s. Visitors come from around the state to see the canyon scenery and the bison, but for most of the year, this is quiet agricultural country.
The county’s economy runs on cotton, grain sorghum, wheat, and cattle. Farms here range from small family operations to larger commercial producers. The Caprock area means some terrain variation (not everything is flat Panhandle table land), which means fuel needs vary by operation. Irrigation is a factor for many producers, adding to diesel and propane demand through the growing season.
Quitaque sits closer to the canyon country and serves as a gateway community for Caprock Canyons visitors. It has a small business district and a school, and the surrounding agricultural community keeps it going year-round.
