Teton County extends along the Rocky Mountain Front from prairie benchlands westward into mountain foothills and peaks. The county features dramatic elevation changes, the Teton River, and portions of the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex.

Irrigated farming near the mountains produces hay, small grains, and pulse crops while dryland farming occurs on eastern benchlands. Cattle operations utilize both irrigated pastures and mountain grazing permits.
