Vast forested mountainous terrain in New Hampshire's largest and most remote county, including parts of the White Mountains. The landscape is dominated by commercial forests with limited agricultural valleys along the Connecticut River and its tributaries.

Limited agricultural activity due to harsh climate and short growing season, with small farms focusing on hardy crops and livestock. Farming operations often integrate with forestry activities and serve local communities in this sparsely populated region.
