  2. NATURAL REGIONS OF TEXAS

  3. GULF COASTAL PLAINS The Coastal/Gulf Plains region runs along the Eastern side of Texas, from the Sabine River to the Gulf of Mexico. This is the largest province taking up one third of the total land mass of the state. The terrain is flat and low in elevation. Along the coast are many long barrier beaches, such as Padre Island, separated from the mainland by lagoons.

  4. Piney Woods located in north eastern part of Texas.

  5. CENTRAL PLAINS The Central Plains area is located in the Northern Central part of the state. The landscape in this region consists of limestone rock that creates short rolling hills covered with thick grass and hardwood trees.

  6. THE GREAT PLAINS The Great Plains region is located mostly in what is considered the panhandle area of the state. This area is very flat with a high elevation that features canyons. It is a barren area with very few trees.

  7. MOUNTAIN/BASIN REGION The Mountains and Basins region is located all the way on the West side of the state; it borders the Pecos River as well as the Rio Grande. A segment of the terrain is mountainous with many plateaus and basins, while much of the rest of this part of the state is comprised of deserts. It has a series of rugged mountain ranges and dry, sandy basins.
