Rolling hills and scenic valleys create diverse agricultural landscapes with elevations ranging from 700 to 1,600 feet. The Green River headwaters begin here, flowing through limestone terrain with numerous springs and caves.

Cattle ranching utilizes the abundant grasslands and pastures throughout the hilly terrain. Row crop production occurs in valley bottoms and gentler slopes, while steeper areas remain in permanent pasture or forest.
