The scenic topography ranges from rolling to rugged, draining to the Salt Fork of the Brazos River, which meanders in and out of the south boundary of the ranch. Elevations range from approximately 1,870 MSL in the northwest corner of the ranch, descending to 1,650 MSL in the Salt Fork bottom along the east boundary of the ranch. Soil types are primarily fine sandy loams with silt loams in the bottoms. While the majority of the ranch is native pasture, there are two areas, located on the east and west sides of the ranch that were formerly cultivated. The fields on the west side of the ranch contain approximately 540 acres, and the fields on the east side of the ranch contain approximately 140 acres. While these areas have reverted to grass, they could easily be returned to cultivation and planted to small grains to enhance a cattle operation or utilized for game food plots. Additional wheat pasture acreage is found around the headquarters.

Two major drainages run through the South Division of the Caloosa Ranch. The Salt Fork of the Brazos River meanders in and out of the south boundary. Scenic rocky ledges and cliffs overlook this wide river bottom. South Camp Hollow heads just south of CR 350 and flows in a southerly direction and flows into the Salt Fork. Numerous other header creeks and draws meander through the ranch providing a very scenic, broken and rolling appearance.

Typical vegetation includes beargrass, croton, ragweed, lotebush, sumac, scattered hackberry trees in the creek and draw bottoms and scattered shinnery in the sandier portions of the ranch. Typical native grasses include grama, buffalograss, bluestem, Canadian wildrye, vine-mesquite and Indiangrass. Mesquite is common throughout the ranch, in varying concentrations. Cedar is found on the sideslopes of the ridges and draws.

A well share agreement, between buyer and seller, will need to be executed upon the sale of the ranch.
