Sheridan County

The terrain of Sheridan County ranges from grass-covered Sandhills in its southern reaches to the pine-clad Pine Ridge escarpment in the north, shaping a county of open ranch country and broken uplands. Rushville, the county seat, and Gordon serve as local centres within a landscape where cattle ranching remains central to daily life. Established in 1885 and named for Civil War general Philip Sheridan, the county developed around the livestock economy of Nebraska’s High Plains. Long rural roads link broad grasslands, small communities, and the wooded edges of Pine Ridge.
