Logan County lies entirely within the Nebraska Sandhills with rolling sand dune topography covered by native grass. The Middle Loup River flows through the county, creating valuable hay meadows in the valley.

Cattle ranching operations dominate the landscape, utilizing native Sandhills range and subirrigated meadows for hay production. The fragile sandy soils are well-suited to perennial grass but unsuitable for cultivation.
