Sevier County stretches from the foothills near Sevierville up into the Great Smoky Mountains, with elevations ranging from 900 to over 6,000 feet. The county includes portions of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and is drained by the Little Pigeon River and its tributaries.

Agriculture is concentrated in the valleys and gentler slopes, with beef cattle operations and hay production dominating. The county's tourism economy has led to growth in agritourism, farm markets, and specialty crops for local consumption.
