Hodgeman County, Kansas
Hodgeman County sits in the heart of western Kansas, right in the middle of nowhere (and that’s how locals like it). Jetmore is the seat in this county.
Ranches sprawl across the prairie, broken up by fields of wheat and milo. The Pawnee River cuts through the county, but don’t expect much water. It’s often just a dry creek bed.
The land here is rugged with rolling hills and steep canyons. County fairs and high school football games are big events. People here are friendly, in that no-nonsense Midwestern way. They’re used to making do with what they have.
