The Guyandotte River system drains this mountainous county through narrow valleys between steep ridges. Forested mountains and deep hollows characterize much of the rugged Appalachian landscape.

Limited agricultural activity occurs in narrow valleys and cleared hillsides, with small cattle operations and subsistence farming. Garden plots and small livestock enterprises utilize available flat land in the mountain terrain.
