Urbanization is relatively small.
Extensive forests are on the deeply dissected hills surrounding the Nashville Basin and along the western edge joining the Coastal Plain. Elsewhere, the forests consist mostly of small farm woodlots. Hay and pasture for beef cattle are the principal crops. Corn and soybeans, grown mostly on narrow strips of bottom land and on upland flats, are important locally. Tobacco, especially burley, is an important cash crop.
