Major cities include Round Rock, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, Taylor, Liberty Hill, and Jarrell. The western half of the county features Edwards Plateau limestone terrain, while the eastern portion transitions to flatter Blackland Prairie. The San Gabriel River, a tributary of the Brazos, flows through the county and feeds Lake Georgetown.
