Juab County is located in the western central part of Utah. Its primary economic base comes from agriculture, manufacturing, mining, recreation and electrical power.

Juab County is a part of the Basin and Range physiographic province. Most of the fertile farming land in the county is located in the Juab Valley near Nephi at the base of Mount Nebo (11,877 feet). The western portion of the county consists of broad, semi-arid valleys and low desert mountains. The Wasatch Mountains are located to the east, and moving west there are the East Tintic Range, West Tintic Range, Thomas Range (Topaz Mountain 7,113 feet), Fish Springs Range, and the Deep Creek Range runs the length of the western border of Juab County.
