Thomas County, Nebraska

Thomas County is in the middle of the Nebraska Sandhills. Thedford is the county seat. It’s a tiny place with less than 200 people. The whole county has about 600 folks.
The landscape’s all rolling hills and grasslands. It’s a beautiful spot in Nebraska. The Nebraska National Forest occupies the southeastern region of the county.
The Middle Loup River runs through here following Nebraska Highway 2. Not much excitement, but for some, that’s the appeal. It’s the kind of quiet that city folks find concerning. But for the people who live here? It’s home.
