Rolling hills and valleys along the Gasconade River create diverse terrain mixing prairie and timber. Fertile river bottoms contrast with rocky uplands typical of the Missouri River hills region.

Cattle ranching dominates on the rolling grasslands and wooded hills throughout the county. Row crop production occurs primarily in river bottom areas, while hay production supports livestock operations.
