Ouachita Mountains provide rugged terrain with steep ridges, valleys, and clear mountain streams throughout the area. Forested mountains limit agricultural development to valley areas and gentler slopes.

Small-scale cattle operations graze on mountain pastures and valley meadows where terrain permits agricultural use. Limited hay production and timber harvesting adapt to the challenging topography of the Ouachita region.
