Three different kinds of landforms in hilly area of central Sichuan basin， Loess plateau and Liaohe plain were choosento analyze the difference of stream morphorogy characteristic. Based on digital terrain analysis， this paper selected the rivers ofXijiang， Qingshuichun and Shahe to calculate the different fractal dimensions， land reliefs and mean slopes， and compare thediference of mountain river network configuration. The results show that the stream ramification ratios are 3.46， 4.45， 4.20， andthe length ratios are 1.87， 2.48， 2.05 in three areas. The fractal dimension values are 1.99， 1.64 and 1.99. The research confirmthat the developmental situation of river reflected by Horton parameters can provide methods for river morphology feature analysis ofdifferent geomorphic types.
