Platte County, Wyoming
Southeast Wyoming is cattle country, and Platte County fits right in. Wide-open spaces define this place. The North Platte River snakes through, giving life to the prairie.
Wheatland, the biggest town, has that classic rural America feel. Farmers and ranchers are the backbone here. They’re tough, hardworking folks.
The Oregon Trail once passed through and you can still see wagon ruts. Guernsey State Park surrounds the Guernsey Reservoir. The county’s history is rich with tales of pioneers and homesteaders.
