The Texas Blackland Prairies are a temperate grassland ecoregion located in Texas that runs roughly from the Red River in North Texas to San Antonio in the south. SettingThe Texas Blackland Prairies ecoregion covers an area of 50,300 square kilometers (19,400 square miles), consisting of a main belt of 43,000 km² and two islands of tallgrass prairie grasslands southeast of the main blackland prairie belt; both the main belt and the islands extend northeast/southwest. It is the home to many different eco-regional organisms The main belt consists of oaklands and savannas and runs from just south of the Red River on the Texas-Oklahoma border through the Dallas-Fort Worth region and into southwestern Texas. The Central forest-grasslands transition lies to the north and northwest, and the Edwards Plateau savanna and the Tamaulipan mezquital the southwest. The larger of the two islands is the Fayette Prairie, encompassing 17,000 km², and the smaller is the San Antonio Prairie of 7,000 km². The two islands are separated from the main belt by the oak woodlands of the East Central Texas forests, which surround the islands on all sides but the northeast, where the Fayette Prairie meets the Piney Woods forests.

Asked by [E][M][I][L][Y] - Tue Sep 16 00:55:08 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Does this have something to do with the TTC? Rick Perry ill-advised 1,200-foot wide transportation corridor that runs through it? Let's see what I can find... Wikipedia no good, although it is 19,400 sq. mi. Better... "...the Blacklands are gently rolling, ranging in elevation from 300 to 800 feet." "By 1915, more people lived in Blacklands than any other region of comparable size in the United States." Here's a map, if nothing else you can add the population of the counties to get an estimate. I think there's another area of blackland prairie on the Rio Grande to the southwest of the area shown on the map.
