Rolling hills transition to flatter coastal plain terrain moving from north to south across the county. The Lynches River and its tributaries create bottomland areas with fertile alluvial soils.

Row crop production leads with corn, soybeans, and cotton on the better drained soils. Timber operations and cattle grazing utilize the rolling uplands and marginal agricultural areas.
