Low-lying coastal plain terrain includes vast pocosin wetlands and the southern shore of Albemarle Sound. Much of the county consists of poorly drained soils and forested swamplands, with limited areas suitable for agriculture.

Corn and soybean production occurs on the better-drained soils, often requiring extensive drainage systems. Some cattle operations utilize improved pastures, while forestry operations manage the extensive wetland forests.
