Red River bottomland creates fertile alluvial soils in the southern portion, while upland areas feature rolling terrain with mixed forests. The Red River forms the southern boundary with extensive agricultural development along its floodplain.

Cotton and soybean production dominates the fertile river bottom areas using modern irrigation and precision agriculture techniques. Cattle operations utilize both improved pastures and native rangeland in the upland regions.
