The Central Texas Uplift is a geological feature located in the central part of the state of Texas. It is characterized by a series of hills and elevated areas that rise above the surrounding plains. This uplift is primarily composed of sedimentary rocks, which have been shaped by erosion and geological processes over millions of years. The region is known for its diverse ecosystems, including grasslands and forests, which support various wildlife species. The Balcones Fault Zone runs along the western edge of the uplift, contributing to the area's unique topography and geological history. This uplift plays a significant role in the hydrology and ecology of Central Texas.
