Geography
Two Distinct Landscapes Divide Tom Green County
Tom Green County sits at the meeting point of the Osage Plains and the Edwards Plateau — two very different landscapes with different land uses.
The central, eastern, and southeastern parts of the county are flatter Osage Plains, better suited for dry-land farming of cotton and grain sorghum. The northern, western, and extreme southwestern parts rise onto the rocky Edwards Plateau, which supports sheep, goat, and cattle ranching on native range. Elevations across the county range from about 1,717 to 2,480 feet.
This geography affects soil type, water availability, and what you can do with land. Plateau land is often rocky with thin soil — better for grazing than row crops. Osage Plains land may have more productive soils but can face drought stress. Both areas are semi-arid.
