Mississippi River bluffs and bottomlands create diverse topography from fertile alluvial plains to steep limestone bluffs. The county stretches westward from the Mississippi River into rolling upland prairie areas.

Intensive corn and soybean production occurs in the fertile river bottoms, while cattle operations utilize the upland pastures. The diverse landscape supports both high-yielding row crops and livestock grazing systems.
