Rolling hills and valleys with extensive forest cover characterize this county drained by the West Branch Susquehanna River system. Agricultural areas concentrate in broader valleys, while steep hills remain largely forested.

Livestock operations focus on beef cattle and dairy farming in valley locations with adequate cropland for feed production. Limited agriculture occurs due to forest dominance, with farms concentrated along creek bottoms and gentler valley areas.
