The Wind River Basin encompasses vast plains surrounded by mountain ranges, with the Wind River providing irrigation water through established systems. The Wind River Indian Reservation covers much of the county's agricultural area.
Irrigated farming along the Wind River produces hay, barley, and specialty crops, while extensive cattle and sheep ranching utilizes both irrigated pastures and rangeland. Traditional and modern farming methods coexist across diverse ownership patterns.
