Its only a bet right now, but i think they could have broken down the etxtures into tiny tiles so they could fit them in texture memory and updating them in texture memory while the rest would wait on system ram, the technqiue is known as texture paging, the reason i beleive this is that the terrain in the first image looks a bit tiled

File size is a consideration here; the whole game is less than 1GB.
You're also not really going to see this texture tiling while playing as the camera angle will be lower.
