The Red River Gorge area creates spectacular sandstone cliffs and narrow valleys in this Daniel Boone National Forest county. Steep ridges and limited bottom land characterize the rugged Appalachian terrain.

Small cattle operations utilize the limited flat ground and forest openings for pasture. Hay production on valley floors and gentler slopes provides feed for the county's modest livestock population.
