Located in valleys east of the Wasatch Front, Morgan County is divided by Weber Canyon, now the route of Interstate 84. Fifteen major streams empty into the Weber, so the county has plenty of water. In these high valleys and mountainous terrain, grasses, sagebrush, brush and small trees, and conifers grow.
