A few more towns were established within a year or two. The settlers returned after 1870 and by 1874, Richfield had nearly 2,000 residents. The county was influenced by the influx of Scandinavian emigrants who brought their own culture with them. The population is mainly situated along the Sevier River. The River flows through the county with the Pahvant Range on the west and the Wasatch Range on the east.
Fish Lake is also in the area.
Almost half the area is national forest. The Sevier Fault is seismically active and is centered in the southern portion of the county.
