Los Companeros is situated in the Texas Rolling Plains offering a variety of terrain features ranging from open fields, rolling prairie, rugged breaks, and attractive bottoms. The ranch is drained by the Salt Fork of the Brazos River and Salt Croton Creek, which provide scenic live water features. The Salt Fork meanders through areas of the east boundary of the ranch. Salt Croton Creek bisects the northeast portion of the ranch, where the ranch is characterized by rugged breaks where mule deer are spotted. Two good crossings along the creek provide access to those areas north of the creek. Numerous other seasonal draws and drainages cut through the property offering good cover for native wildlife and giving the ranch its scenic, broken and rolling appearance.

Soil types on the ranch are primarily fine sandy loams, with silt loams in the bottoms. Typical vegetation includes a variety of native grasses including buffalo grass, grama, bluestem, vine-mesquite, etc. Mesquite is scattered throughout the ranch in various concentrations. Cedar is found scattered along the side slopes of the many draws and more heavily concentrated in the northeast part of the ranch. Other forbes and woody species include hackberry, lotebush, sumac, ephedra and yucca. The turf of native grasses is in excellent condition. There have been no livestock grazing on the ranch for nearly a year. This period of rest, coupled with recent significant rainfall, has proven very beneficial for the grass turf. For the cattleman, the ranch is fenced and cross fenced into 9 main pastures with three sets of livestock pens. The estimated carrying capacity of the ranch is 450 animal units.

The ranch enjoys the benefit of two large areas of open fields that could easily be utilized for increased grazing capacity, dove fields and game food plots. The fields in the southeast part of the ranch total approximately 490 acres. The fields in the western part of the ranch total approximately 300 acres.
