According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of , of which is land and (0.8%) is water. It is by far the largest county in land area in Nebraska and larger than the state of Connecticut, or the states of Delaware and Rhode Island combined. The county is within the Sandhills region of Nebraska; the dunes that give the region its name are a result of the most recent glacial period, known as the Pinedale glaciation. During the Holocene glacial retreat the sand dunes, which had been deposited in their current location by the vast continental glaciers, were exposed and grasses eventually took over.
Cherry County is also the location of the Valentine National Wildlife Refuge, the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge, the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest, and the western portion of the Niobrara National Scenic River.
