Rolling High Plains terrain extends across this county along the Kansas border, with the Canadian River creating bottom lands and breaks in the otherwise gently undulating landscape. Mixed-grass prairie dominates the agricultural areas.
Wheat farming utilizes the fertile soils and favorable climate, while cattle operations graze wheat pastures in winter and native grass ranges during summer. Some irrigated corn and grain sorghum production occurs where water resources permit.
