Rolling hills and valleys of the Allegheny Plateau extend across this county, with the Beaver River and Shenango River systems creating important drainage corridors. Mixed agricultural and suburban development characterizes much of the landscape.

Diversified farming includes dairy operations, beef cattle production, and cash crop farming on the better valley soils. Hay production supports the livestock sectors, while corn and soybeans provide cash crop income.
