I'm interested to know the topography of east Texas in the area between Rts 10 and 20 and as far west as Rt 35. I don't need much detail just a "general lay of the land" as they say.
Thanks for any help.

Look at a map, pick out a couple towns, google them up to show satelite images .... This just might be the best description of the area...

Generally flat, but you can find some hills between College Station and Austin.

If you are really serious go to the forest service and look up the maps you want and buy them.
....just remembering my gold prospecting days ! :)

I tried that, but found it to be too broad with too much extra info thrown in.
Thanks for your reply to my request. This is the reason I love this forum. There is always someone willing to offer help on any topic.
I'm writing a novel and need a little descriptive background.

In this case you must know "some" broad details about the area, ....suggest you type in some key words in your search engine on the area related to your interests and see what pops up!

You also have some great pine forests over in the East Texas Piney Woods, and some great oak forests in the Texas Hill County.

There are also a few swamps in East Texas where you can readily find alligators.

East Texas is very similar to Michigan in topography. It has softly rolling hills and deep east Texas has piney woods. As you get closer to Dallas, however, it pretty well flattens out.

Hollyak Loc: E. Texas

Does your novel take place in East Tx.? Interesting! There is a little of everything here except mountains! Mostly green, trees, rolling hills, alot of small lakes (many man made). The trees on our property (about 90 miles east of Dallas) seem to be very very old...from way back in the Indian days.
Hope you will keep us posted.

My best memory - the Indian reservation in the Big Thicket. East Texas is lush.

There's a saying about it...hot, flat & dumb but that can be applied to everything between the Mississippi and the Rockies. :lol:
