Geography
This county has a total area of 4,453 km².
The county is situated in the Bărăgan Plain, all the area is flat crossed by small rivers with small but deep valleys.
Its east border is on Danube and the Ialomiţa River crosses the county from West to Eeast about the middle. The Danube is split around the Ialomiţa Pond - the Old Danube branch and the Borcea branch.
Until 1940 (in the West part) and 1967 (in the East part) the county/plain was home of the great bustard (dropie in Romanian), with large populations of this bird. The birds disappeared because of the massive village buildout and hunting them for food.
