Rolling prairie and badlands stretch across the county with the North Platte River creating a green corridor through otherwise arid landscape. Scattered buttes and the Laramie Mountains provide topographic relief.

Cattle ranching dominates across extensive rangeland, with irrigated hay and pasture production concentrated along the North Platte River corridor. Dryland farming occurs on scattered parcels with adequate soil depth.
