Resource extraction and agriculture define the local economy, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits, Oil Wells, and a dedicated Fish Farm near the river. Smaller watercourses such as Balls Mill Creek and Upper Little Creek carve through the terrain, while the presence of a Gas Field and extensive Pipeline networks indicate the industrial development of the early 1970s. Historical researchers can trace the locations of several small communities like Pickwick, Mildred, and Lampton as they appeared before modern expansion.
