Rolling hills covered with pine and hardwood forests characterize the landscape with some prairie areas and creek bottoms. The terrain provides a mix of timber resources and agricultural opportunities in cleared areas.

Cattle ranching utilizes improved pastures established in forest clearings with rotational grazing systems becoming more common. Some row crop production in valley areas focuses on soybeans while timber provides significant supplemental income.
