Utah's least populous county by area, situated on the Sevier Plateau with elevations ranging from 5,500 to over 11,000 feet. The Sevier River flows through Grass Valley, creating the county's primary agricultural corridor.

High-altitude cattle ranching and hay production operate in Grass Valley and on plateau meadows, with short growing seasons limiting crop options. Livestock operations rely heavily on summer grazing permits on the Fishlake National Forest.
