The Cross Timbers ecoregion is a transition area between the once prairie, now winter wheat growing regions to the west, and the forested low mountains or hills of eastern Oklahoma and Texas. The region does not possess the arability and suitability for crops such as corn and soybeans that are common in the Central Low Plains to the northeast.
Transitional cross-timbers which include little bluestem grassland with scattered blackjack oak and post oak trees, is the native vegetation, and presently rangeland and pasture land comprise the predominant land cover, with some areas of woodland.
Oil extraction has been a major activity in this region for over eighty years.
