Pulaski County encompasses the Arkansas River Valley and surrounding hills, with Little Rock serving as the state capital and largest metropolitan area. The Arkansas River bisects the county, creating fertile bottom lands amid urban development.

Urban pressure limits agricultural land, but remaining farms focus on cattle operations, hay production, and vegetable farming for local markets. Horse farms and agritourism operations serve the metropolitan population.
