Rolling prairie and badlands characterize this corner county, with the O'Fallon Creek drainage and scattered pine-covered hills breaking up the grassland landscape. The terrain features typical Great Plains topography with colorful rock formations and expansive views extending into North Dakota.
Cattle ranching predominates across the native shortgrass prairie, requiring large acreages due to the semi-arid climate and limited precipitation. Some dryland farming occurs where soils permit, primarily producing wheat and hay for local livestock operations.
