Small county in the Highland Rim with rolling hills and elevations between 700-1,000 feet. Elk River headwaters drain the county, creating valleys between forested ridges and providing water resources for agriculture.

Small family farms dominate the landscape with beef cattle operations utilizing the rolling pastureland. Hay production is the primary crop, with some corn and small grain production for local livestock feed needs.
