Morrill County features diverse topography from irrigated North Platte River valley bottoms to rugged tablelands and badlands formations. Courthouse Rock and Jail Rock stand as prominent landmarks along the historic Oregon Trail.

Irrigated crop production in the river valley focuses on corn, sugar beets, and beans while dryland wheat farming occurs on the uplands. Cattle operations utilize both improved pastures and native range on the rougher terrain.
