High desert and badlands dominate with the Green River providing limited irrigation water through an otherwise arid landscape. Red Desert and Great Divide Basin create challenging agricultural conditions.

Limited cattle ranching occurs on extensive rangeland with minimal crop production restricted to irrigated hay along river corridors. Energy development and mining activities compete with traditional agricultural land uses.
