The Yellowstone River flows through the county creating fertile bottomlands surrounded by rolling hills and badlands. Sandstone cliffs and coulees characterize the northern portions near the Yellowstone.
Irrigated crop production along the Yellowstone River bottoms focuses on sugar beets and corn, while upland areas support dryland wheat and extensive cattle operations. Small farms mix irrigated crops with livestock grazing.
