The Columbia River curves through this large county featuring flat irrigated lands, coulees, and the Saddle Mountains. Grand Coulee and other channeled scabland features create dramatic topographic relief in otherwise flat terrain.

Massive irrigated farming operations produce potatoes, corn, wheat, and other crops using Columbia Basin Project water across hundreds of thousands of acres. Cattle feeding operations and dairy farms utilize locally produced feed crops and favorable climate conditions.
