The county encompasses flat coastal plain terrain with sandy soils and extensive salt marsh systems along the Atlantic coast. The Satilla River creates fertile bottomlands before reaching the coastal marshes.
Limited agricultural activity due to coastal environment focuses on suitable upland areas for hay production and cattle grazing. Development pressure and environmental constraints limit expansion of traditional farming operations.
