Rolling hills and ridges of the Tennessee River Hills region with elevations from 300 to 700 feet. Big Sandy River and Tuscumbia River drain the county, creating valleys between forested ridges and providing water for agriculture.

Mixed farming operations combine row crop production in valley bottoms with beef cattle operations on hill pastures. The county maintains active crop farming with corn, soybeans, and some cotton production alongside traditional livestock operations.
