In addition, places for the extraction of material to manufacture brick were found within the urban area.
Most of the city is flat, there are some hills and slopes; and a small part of rugged lands, hills with forests. The city of Ocotlán is located on flat lands, with slopes of less than 5%, which is why it presents favorable conditions for urban development, with the exception of some areas that, due to poor natural drainage, are susceptible to flooding.

As for the Zula River, it collects most of the runoff from the area and the city, running from northeast to southwest and crossing Ocotlán to pay tribute to Santiago. The watershed between the Zula and Santiago basins passes through the city, thus causing the lands east of Santiago to discharge into the Zula River. In addition, three dams are located northeast of the area and seasonal runoff in it.

The envelope of the urban area, corresponding to flat land, is used in agricultural and livestock activities, with seasonal crops and irrigation.
