Big Springs

Few communities in western Nebraska have a history as closely tied to overland travel as Big Springs. Set in the South Platte River valley in Deuel County, this small settlement developed near springs that supplied water on the High Plains. Big Springs was a station on the Pony Express route of 1860–61, linking it to the brief but influential mail service that crossed the continent before the telegraph took over. Today, open farmland, wide skies and the interstate corridor define its setting near Nebraska’s western border.
