I've seen folks who have created great distressed heavy rough texture without making major elevation changes and I don't know how they do it. Newport CC, which was recently uploaded is a great example. He's able to create the look of dried out, links-y rough without awkward elevation changes. I have tried to replicate but have been completely unable to do so. Any ideas? Am I using the wrong textures?

Sinking trees under ground makes the ground the base texture. This works better on some themes then others. Using a paint brush overrides the base texture.

yeah, the buried trees is about the best you can do. It won't have EXACTLY the same effect but it will help. If you can manipulate the ground a bit and combine it with the trees you'll get the best results.

Use the sharpest brushes you can when moving the land as well. The ones on page four can work well. It’s really fiddly and there’s also some parts of the land where it just won’t work (thanks HB) and it’ll look like it’s going into shadow or deep brown, even with burying trees.
Lots of trial and error involved here.

Warning!!! This method does NOT work on all themes. Trial and error is best option. Boreal theme is excellent for this type of design.
