Denver County is entirely urbanized, located at the base of the Rocky Mountains at elevations around 5,200 to 5,600 feet on the High Plains. The South Platte River flows through the county, but virtually all land is developed for urban uses.

Minimal agricultural activity exists, primarily limited to urban gardens, community supported agriculture, and small specialty operations. The county's role in agriculture is primarily as a market center and distribution hub rather than production area.
