Searcy County encompasses the rugged Arkansas Ozarks with the Buffalo National River flowing through the northern portion and steep limestone bluffs throughout. The terrain features deep hollows, rocky ridges, and spring-fed streams.
Agriculture adapts to the challenging Ozark topography with cattle grazing on hillside pastures and hay production in small valley bottoms. Limited flat land and rocky soils restrict row crop production to scattered small fields.
