Walker County, Texas
Walker County sits in the Piney Woods an hour north of Houston, anchored by Huntsville — home to Sam Houston State University and the headquarters of the Texas prison system. The university and state payrolls steady its economy, and I-45 keeps pulling Houston's growth north, so timberland converting to acreage tracts along the interstate is the county's defining land story.
