Mountain valleys and high plains characterize the landscape with the Bear River providing irrigation water through Star Valley and other agricultural areas. The Salt River Range and Wyoming Range frame fertile valley bottoms.
Irrigated hay production and cattle ranching dominate in mountain valleys with short but intensive growing seasons. Small grain production and specialty crops grow in protected valley locations with adequate water supplies.
