Rolling hills and ridges with mixed hardwood-pine forests, crossed by the Yalobusha River and its tributaries creating fertile valley bottoms. The landscape features well-drained upland soils transitioning to alluvial soils in creek and river bottoms.

Beef cattle ranching on improved pastures dominates the upland areas while row crops including soybeans, corn, and cotton are grown in the river and creek bottoms. Many operations combine cattle, hay production, and selective timber harvesting.
