Bayou Bartholomew winds through fertile bottomlands surrounded by rolling uplands and pine forests. Mix of heavy clay soils in bottoms and sandy loam soils on ridges creates diverse growing conditions.

Cotton and soybean production dominates the bottomland areas with extensive irrigation systems. Cattle operations utilize both improved pastures on uplands and native grasslands along waterways.
