Utah's third-largest county, encompassing vast Great Basin desert valleys separated by north-south mountain ranges including the Canyon Mountains and Confusion Range. The Sevier Desert and Pavant Valley contain most agricultural activities in this expansive landscape.
Large-scale irrigated agriculture in the Sevier Desert focuses on alfalfa hay production supported by groundwater and Sevier River water. Extensive cattle ranching operations utilize both irrigated pastures and vast rangeland areas across the county's desert valleys.
