Large numbers of tropical trees like fruit-bearings as well as crops are substantially presence everywhere. Numerous streams counting less than 20 are also present throughout the local community although some were extremely polluted due to improper disposal of agricultural wastes coming from pigpens. However, two much larger streams or definitely a little rivers are sited northeast and south of the locale that serves as a frontier for Brgy. San Jose Sico itself. Several terms like "Katmon" and "Talumpok" are used to name the two little rivers. Residential areas are mostly located along the national and minor roads.
