The county consists of high plains terrain with rolling hills and native grassland, crossed by the Cimarron River. Occasional small canyons and creek valleys break up the otherwise flat agricultural landscape.

Wheat farming dominates with large-scale operations utilizing no-till practices to conserve soil moisture. Cattle ranching focuses on native grass pastures with some improved bermuda grass fields for hay production.
