The North Platte River creates an agricultural corridor through high plains and badlands, with Casper Mountain providing southern relief. Scattered buttes and the Rattlesnake Hills break otherwise open rangeland.
Irrigated farming along the North Platte River produces hay, corn, and sugar beets, while extensive cattle ranching utilizes both river bottom pastures and upland range. Energy development coexists with traditional agricultural land uses.
