The county covers a total area of 740 square miles, and its seat lies in the historic town of Westcliffe.

This, in turn, prompted a significant influx of miners and settlers to the region, spurring the creation of various mining settlements in the county.
The introduction of railways in the early 20th century further accelerated the development of Custer County, providing convenient access to trade routes for local goods and livestock. In the following years, agricultural pursuits began to dominate the county's economy. Ranching, especially sheep and cattle, became important industries, creating a sustainable livelihood for many inhabitants.
