Marquette County features sandy soils and extensive wetlands typical of central Wisconsin's glacial outwash plain. The Fox River headwaters and numerous small lakes create a landscape of mixed agriculture and natural areas.

Agriculture focuses on crops adapted to sandy soils, including potatoes and irrigated vegetables. Dairy farming occurs on better soils, while cranberry production utilizes the county's wetland areas.
