These waterways contribute to the local topography by creating valleys and providing fertile floodplains, while the higher ground typically consists of small hills and plateaus. The soil composition ranges from clay to sandy loam, supporting diverse vegetation including hardwood forests and grasslands, which are characteristic of the Central Texas region.
