Frontier County, Nebraska

The wide-open prairies of southwestern Nebraska are home to Frontier County. The horizon seems endless and the sky feels impossibly big.
Cattle outnumber people here by a long shot. The county’s named after its frontier history, and you can still feel that pioneer spirit. Stockville, the county seat, has fewer than 50 residents.
But don’t let the small population fool you. There’s plenty of life here. The Medicine Creek Reservoir draws fishermen and boaters from all around. Farmers work the land, coaxing crops from the soil just like their great-grandparents did.
