White County spans from Ozark foothills in the north to coastal plain terrain in the south, with the White River meandering through the center. The Little Red River also flows through the area, creating fertile bottom lands.

Agriculture takes advantage of diverse topography with rice and soybeans in the river bottoms, cattle ranching in the hills, and significant poultry production throughout. The county supports both Delta-style row crops and upland livestock operations.
