Byron Hot Springs sits at the foot of the Diablo Range, where the foothills meet the level expanse of the San Joaquin Valley. This landscape is defined by the critical infrastructure of California water management, featuring the Byron-Bethany Irrigation Canal and the S Bay Aqueduct cutting across the terrain. While the northeastern corner shows the transition to the Central Valley floor near the Byron Airport, the southwestern portion is dominated by the heights of Brushy Peak. A network of recreational paths, including the Brushy Peak Loop Trail, Tamcan Trail, and W Side Loop Trail, provides access to the higher elevations. Drainage for the region is handled by Kellogg Creek and Marsh Creek, which flow toward the valley floor, illustrating the complex relationship between natural hydrology and industrial-scale irrigation in this region.
