Rolling hills of the Allegheny Plateau stretch across this county, with the Monongahela River forming the eastern boundary. Coal mining activities have shaped much of the landscape, creating opportunities for agricultural reclamation.

Livestock production, particularly cattle grazing, takes advantage of the county's extensive pastureland including reclaimed mining areas. Hay production supports the livestock operations, while some grain crops are grown on the better valley soils.
