Rolling hills and valleys in the Ozark foothills create diverse topography between Grand Lake and Oologah Lake. The Verdigris River and its tributaries flow through oak-hickory forests and native grass prairies.

Cattle ranching dominates agriculture, utilizing improved pastures in valleys and native grass on hillsides throughout the rolling terrain. Hay production serves local cattle operations, while some poultry farming takes advantage of regional processing infrastructure.
