Perkins County Nebraska

Perkins County, Nebraska, was organized on November 8, 1887, from part of Keith County. It consists generally of prairie land with some sand hills, and its northwest corner is the northwest corner of section nineteen, township twelve north, range forty-one west of the 6th P.M., approximately 425 feet northerly and 50 feet westerly from this point. There are no flowing streams within its boundaries. In early times it was perhaps the driest part of the long cattle trail from Texas to Ogallala and consisted mostly of cattle ranches. The county now has some 500 deep well irrigation systems and is made up of highly developed and diversified farms. Agriculture is the chief source of income for this beautiful and prosperous community.
