The county lies completely within the coastal plain of the state, with an average elevation of {{convert|4|m|ft|sp=us}}, making it very easy to manipulate geographically. However, due to the county's position very close to the equator, the region was heavily forested in the early years of settlement, which made it costly to remove vegetation, especially in the southern portions of the county. As a result of the climate of the region, the county's coastal areas are also susceptible to flooding. The western portion of the city of Solma even lies below sea level, making it an especially flood prone area. | The county lies completely within the coastal plain of the state, with an average elevation of {{convert|4|m|ft|sp=us}}, making it very easy to manipulate geographically.
