Keya Paha County, Nebraska

Keya Paha Location Map Nebraska

Keya Paha County sits up in north-central Nebraska, right on the South Dakota border. It’s about as rural as you can get. Springview is the only real town. Population? Less than 300.

Ranching is the big deal here with more cattle than people. The Niobrara River cuts through the county, which creates some pretty spectacular scenery. It’s also the southern border.

Rolling hills, deep canyons. It’s not what most people picture when they think of Nebraska. Of course, community is important. Everyone knows everyone. It’s the kind of place where neighbors still help neighbors.
