GREEN BRANCH. Green Branch rises ten miles southeast of
Fowlerton in east central La Salle County (at 28°20' N, 98°55'
W) and runs southeast for seventeen miles to its mouth on the
Nueces River, twenty miles southwest of Tilden in southwestern
McMullen County (at 28°12' N, 98°42' W). The creek rises in low-
rolling terrain and descends to flat terrain with locally
shallow depressions. The area soils are clay and sandy loams and
support grasses, mesquite, and chaparral in the creek's upper
reaches and water-tolerant hardwoods and grasses in its lower.
