Taylor County's bedrock is a generally poorly exposed complex sequence of Proterozoic granites, meta-volcanic and meta-sedimentary rocks deformed during the 1.80 – 1.85 billion year old Penokean Orogeny. The Penokean orogeny was a continent-continent collision, with the rocks seen in the county being ocean crust and island arc materials, including massive sulfide deposits, caught up in the collision. The Bend deposit is one of these, which is being currently (2014) explored for base and precious metal production.

Thick glacial debris, forest and lakes obscure outcrop in much of the County. glacial drift can yield interesting float material including native copper masses, banded iron formation, jasper and "Lake Superior" agates. Excellent glacial landforms such as kames, kettles and drumlins abound.
