It lies on a flat landscape where the highest elevation does not exceed 100 m. Agricultural farming is the primary source of income. Sunflower and wheat are the main crops. Cattle is also raised. The Şeytan (Devil in Turkish) Stream flows through the land of the village and provides an important source for irrigation.
