Gjerstad is a forest municipality whose farms and hamlets follow the watercourse through Gjerstadvannet. Farming occupies the valley floor, with wooded hills separating the settled corridors.
The older municipal centre lies by the church and railway station north of the lake. Eikeland/Fiane and Brokelandsheia by the E18 form another focus of trade and business; engineering is important to local employment.
