Rolling hills and red soil prairies extend across this county between the North Fork Red River and Elk Creek watersheds. Sand dune formations and salt plains create unique geological features among the mixed-grass prairie.

Cotton production takes advantage of the sandy soils and warm growing season, while wheat provides winter cover and spring grazing for cattle. Irrigation from the Ogallala Aquifer supports higher-value crops in favorable locations.
