Red River bottomland along the Louisiana border provides fertile agricultural soils in flat terrain. Rolling hills covered with pine and hardwood forests extend northward from the river valley.

Row crop production in river bottoms emphasizes cotton, soybeans, and some specialty crops including sweet potatoes. Cattle ranching utilizes upland pastures while timber operations provide supplemental income for many landowners.
