In the Second Treatise, or somewhere else? I don't recall Locke mentioning any requirement for wild frontier to prop up the legitimacy of government. I do remember his "state of nature" as a kind of fable, presented as if it were or had been a real thing in some meaningful sense, propping up his premises. But his Second Treatise is the only document of his I've read.
