Cross Timbers Totally Explained

Everything about The Cross Timbers totally explained

The Cross Timbers is a semi-savanna on the southern Great Plains running from southeastern Kansas, across central Oklahoma, into central Texas. It lies at the eastern edge of the great prairies and the western edge of the deciduous forest. The Cross Timbers is mainly post oak (Quercus stellata) and blackjack oak (Quercus marilandica) forests interspersed with patches of open prairie (both tall and mixed grass).
One of the three sub-regions of the North Central Plains of Texas, it's home to Denton, Arlington, and Brownwood. Denton is a widely sought-out place for students because it's home to the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University. Arlington is a big area in tourism, manufacturing, and recreation activities.
The thick growth formed an almost impenetrable barrier for early American explorers and travelers. Washington Irving, in 1835, described it as "like struggling through forests of cast iron." Josiah Gregg described the Cross Timbers in 1845 as varying in width from five to thirty miles and attributed their denseness to the continual burning of the prairies.
