Dense forests and steep hills characterize this sparsely populated county with minimal agricultural development. Small valleys and creek bottoms provide limited farmable areas within the extensive Pennsylvania hardwood forest region.

Very limited agricultural activity consists mainly of small beef cattle operations and hay production in scattered clearings. Most land use focuses on forestry, with agriculture playing a minimal role in this heavily forested mountain county.
