The county sits at the fall line where piedmont meets coastal plain, with the Ocmulgee River flowing through Macon. Urban development limits agricultural land but river bottomlands remain fertile.

Limited agricultural activity due to urbanization focuses on small-scale operations including vegetable production and agritourism. Some cattle operations persist on remaining pasture land in rural areas of the county.
