The Edwards Plateau is a large, flat region located in central Texas, known for its unique limestone geology and diverse ecosystems. It covers parts of several counties and is characterized by rolling hills, deep canyons, and a variety of vegetation, including oak and juniper trees. The area is also home to many wildlife species, making it an important ecological zone. This plateau is significant for its water resources, particularly the Edwards Aquifer, which supplies drinking water to millions of people in the region. The plateau's climate is generally dry, with hot summers and mild winters, contributing to its distinct landscape and agricultural practices, including ranching and farming.
