The county consists of rolling red hills and plains with native shortgrass prairie and scattered mesquite trees throughout the landscape. The Washita River flows eastward through the county creating fertile bottomland for crop production.

Cattle ranching predominates on native grass pastures with stocker operations common during spring and fall months. Wheat farming occurs on cropland with some irrigated fields near the Washita River bottom producing higher yields.
