This region has a good annual rainfall and is in a temperate region. This is a good climate for farming. There are many springs, creeks, streams and several large rivers in this area.

10. The Caddo lived in tall cone shaped grass huts. To build a hut, they made a wood frame and covered it with cut cane and long grasses. These huts were nicely furnished inside with furniture and were quite comfortable. One of the reasons the Spanish seemed to like the Caddo was because they had beds and chairs inside these huts
