Oliver

The landscape around Oliver is open High Plains prairie, tempered by a dry climate and broad horizons, which has shaped both the sparse settlement pattern and the local ranching economy. Oliver Reservoir brings a broad stretch of water to this western Nebraska setting and anchors Oliver Reservoir State Recreation Area, used for fishing, boating and camping. The surrounding Kimball County remains part of the Great Plains farm-and-ranch country, where dryland fields sit beside grazing land. Nearby Kimball grew along the Union Pacific railroad, reflecting the rail routes that connected Nebraska’s Panhandle to national markets.
