Topography
Cabugao is bounded on the east by the Cordillera mountain range and has abundant spring resources that can be harnessed for adequate supply of water, not only for household use but for irrigation purposes, too.
The Cordillera mountain range stand stately on the eastern part of the town. Hills are located in all the four corners of the municipality. There is also the Salomague Island that stands majestically off Barangay Sabang. The three water resources of the municipality which supply safe drinking water to the poblacion and thirteen (13) other barangays are located within the Cordillera mountain range.
The Cabugao River is the only big river that cuts across the town. Two big tributaries come from the eastern portion of the municipality. Sitio Caset in Maradodon and Gaco in Barangay Cacadiran.
The barangays that lie along the Cabugao River are flood prone areas during the rainy season. The uncontrollable surges of water erode the properties that line the Cabugao River endangering life and limb. The creek that runs thru the poblacion easily clogs up in rain causing portions near it to be inundated.

Famous quotes containing the word topography:
“That the mere matter of a poem, for instance—its subject, its given incidents or situation; that the mere matter of a picture—the actual circumstances of an event, the actual topography of a landscape—should be nothing without the form, the spirit of the handling, that this form, this mode of handling, should become an end in itself, should penetrate every part of the matter;Mthis is what all art constantly strives after, and achieves in different degrees.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
