East Austin into eastern Travis County you have the orange colored Sandy loam in some areas the Black clay soil is where the Blackland prarie slices through which is central east Austin from the Northeast part through South Austin in a sliver. We have Blackland prarie clay soil where I live. But go a mile west of here its limestone.
