Logan County occupies High Plains terrain in northeastern Colorado along the South Platte River valley, featuring the broad Sterling area agricultural region. The county encompasses gently rolling prairie with the South Platte River providing irrigation water for extensive farming operations.

Intensive irrigated agriculture produces corn, sugar beets, dry beans, and other crops using South Platte River water and center pivot irrigation systems. Large-scale cattle feeding operations complement crop production, while dryland farming occurs in areas without irrigation access.
