Trempealeau County features dramatic Mississippi River bluffs and valleys characteristic of the Driftless Area, with the Trempealeau River creating fertile bottomlands. Steep ridges and narrow valleys define much of the landscape.

Agriculture focuses on dairy farming in valleys with extensive rotational grazing systems on hillsides adapted to steep terrain. Cash crop production occurs on flatter valley floors, while ridge tops often remain in pasture or forest.
