The county features rolling hills covered with oak and pine forests surrounding the scenic Arbuckle Mountains and numerous spring-fed creeks. Lake Texoma along the southern border provides recreation and some irrigation water.

Small cattle operations graze forested pastures and cleared bottomland with native grasses and improved coastal bermuda fields. Hay production serves local livestock needs while timber harvesting provides supplemental income for many farm families.
