Lincoln County, Nebraska

Lincoln Location Map Nebraska

Lincoln County sprawls across west-central Nebraska. North Platte, the county seat, is famous for its massive rail yard. It’s a sight to see. Trains go everywhere here.

The county’s got a mix of farmland and ranches. Corn, cattle, the usual Nebraska stuff. Buffalo Bill Cody called this place home for a while. His ranch is now a state historical park so it’s worth a visit if you’re into that kinda thing.

The North and South Platte rivers meet here and create some nice scenery. Fishing’s pretty good too, if you’re into that. Lincoln County has a mix of history, outdoor recreation, and welcoming communities.
