The city straddles the&nbsp;Balcones Escarpment,&nbsp;a fault line in which the areas roughly east of&nbsp;Interstate 35&nbsp;are flat and characterized by having black, fertile soils of the&nbsp;Blackland Prairie, and the west side of the Escarpment, which consists mostly of hilly,&nbsp;karst-like&nbsp;terrain with little topsoil and higher elevations and which is part of the&nbsp;Texas Hill Country.
