The county encompasses the scenic Sequatchie Valley, a long narrow valley flanked by the Cumberland Plateau on both sides. The Sequatchie River flows northward through fertile bottomlands surrounded by dramatic limestone bluffs.

The protected valley floor provides excellent conditions for cattle ranching and row crop production. Farms take advantage of the rich alluvial soils while utilizing the surrounding plateau for timber and pasture.
