The county consists of gently rolling prairie with scattered blackjack oak woodlands and is crossed by Beaver Creek and other tributaries. Red clay soils and native grass remnants characterize much of the agricultural landscape.

Cattle ranching dominates with extensive native grass pastures supplemented by coastal bermuda grass fields for hay production. Wheat farming occurs on the better soils with some operations combining grain production and livestock grazing.
