The Powder River flows north through rolling prairie, while the Bighorn Mountains rise dramatically to the west providing summer range and water sources. Foothills and mountain meadows extend grazing opportunities.
Cattle ranching predominates with seasonal movement between valley winter pastures and mountain summer range. Hay production in valley bottoms supports winter feeding operations across large ranch properties.
