Rolling prairie with scattered timber along creeks characterizes this county, with red clay soils typical of south-central Oklahoma. Oil field activity is interspersed with agricultural land use.

Cattle ranching and wheat farming dominate agriculture, adapted to the clay soils and variable rainfall patterns. Some cotton production occurs, taking advantage of the longer growing season.
