==Geography== The terrain of Kimball County consists of rolling hills sloping to the east. The flatter portions are mainly used for agriculture, mostly [[dry farming]] with a modest amount of [[center pivot irrigation]]. A small drainage, Lodgepole Creek, feeds into the Oliver Reservoir, in the western central part of the county.<ref>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kimball+County,+NE/@41.2113062,-103.8213783,14z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x876fdab7bbd330a9:0x1de3f789c1229763!8m2!3d41.1856601!4d-103.6362715 ''Kimball County NE'' Google Maps (accessed 23 January 2019)]</ref> The county has a total area of {{convert|952|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|952|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|0.6|sqmi}} (0.06%) is water.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_31.txt|publisher=US Census Bureau|access-date=December 8, 2014|date=August 22, 2012|title=2010 Census Gazetteer Files|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113024152/http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/docs/gazetteer/counties_list_31.txt|archive-date=November 13, 2013}}</ref> The highest natural point in Nebraska, [[Panorama Point]] at {{convert|5,424|ft|m}}, is located in Kimball County.
