NATURAL RESOURCES

The county is divided into two major physiographic divisions: the Northern Highlands and the Coastal Lowlands. The two are separated by the Cody Scarp, Florida’s ancient shoreline. The Highlands are ideal for crop and livestock farming, while the Lowlands are prime for timber production.
