Boyd County, Nebraska

Boyd County sits up in the northeastern corner of Nebraska, right on the South Dakota border. It’s about as far from big city life as you can get.
While the Niobrara River forms the southern border, the Missouri River forms the county’s eastern border. Both rivers create some stunning scenery and fishing is especially popular.
Butte is the county seat. Farming and ranching keep the local economy ticking. There’s a strong German-American heritage here, evident in local festivals and cuisine. And if you’re into stargazing, the night sky out here is something to behold.
