Quanah is the county seat in the Rolling Plains — a compact, welcoming small town with a restored historic feel and easy access to outdoor recreation at Copper Breaks State Park about 12 miles south for hiking, horseback riding and a swim.
When you want more restaurants, shopping or larger services, Vernon (≈31 miles) and Altus, OK (≈40 miles) are the nearest bigger hubs within about 75 miles, so a multi-week assignment here feels peaceful without being truly remote.
