High plains stretch eastward from Cheyenne with the Laramie Mountains providing western relief and water sources. Crow Creek and other tributaries create scattered irrigated valleys across predominantly rangeland.
Dryland farming produces wheat and other small grains on deeper soils, while cattle ranching utilizes extensive rangeland and limited irrigated pastures. Market proximity to Colorado's Front Range influences crop selection and marketing strategies.
