Venango

Venango occupies an open High Plains setting in Perkins County, far western Nebraska. Close to the Colorado border, it stands in an agricultural region of long roads, grain fields and livestock country, where the broad horizon makes changing weather and seasons an everyday presence. The community belongs to Nebraska’s sparsely settled western interior rather than the Missouri River lowlands farther east. Perkins County takes its name from Charles E. Perkins, a president of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Browse additional webcams nearby to see how Venango relates to the wider High Plains of western Nebraska.
