Rolling prairie with red soils extends across this county, with the Washita River creating bottomland areas. Shortgrass prairie vegetation reflects the transition to more arid western conditions.

Wheat farming and cattle ranching are well-adapted to the semi-arid climate and rolling terrain. Some cotton production takes advantage of the longer frost-free period in southern areas.
