GAZETTEER OF STREAMS OF TEXAS.

Prepared under the direction of GLENN A. GRAY.

INTRODUCTION.

The following pages contain a gazetteer of streams, lakes, and 

ponds as shown by the topographic maps of Texas which were prepared by the United States Geological Survey and, in areas not 

covered by the topographic maps, by State of Texas county maps 

and the post-route map of Texas. For many streams a contour map of 

Texas, prepared in 1899 by Robert T. Hill, was consulted, as well as 

maps compiled by private surveys, engineering corporations, the 

State Board of Water Engineers, and the International Boundary 

Commission. An effort has been made to eliminate errors where 

practicable by personal reconnaissance.

All the descriptions are based on the best available maps, and 

their accuracy therefore depends on that of the maps. Descriptions 

of streams in the central part of the State, adjacent to the Bio 

Grande above Brewster County, and in parts of Brewster, Terrell, 

Bowie, Casg, Btirleson, Brazos, Grimes, Washington, Harris, Bexar, 

Wichita, Wilbarger, Montague, Coke, and Graysoh counties were 

compiled by means of topographic maps and are of a good degree of 

accuracy. It should be understood, however, that all statements of 

elevation, length, and fall are roughly approximate.

The Geological Survey topographic maps used are cited in the descriptions of the streams and are listed below. An index circular 

showing the area covered by each map may be obtained by applying 

to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.

COLORADO RIVER (OF TEXAS). Rises in Dawson County near the New MexicoTexas line; flows in a southeasterly course approximately 600 miles, passes 

through Ballinger, Austin, Columbus, and Bay City, and enters Matagorda 

Bay (an arm of Gulf of Mexico) in the south central part of Matagorda 

County near Matagorda; area of drainage basin in Texas, 37,800 square 

miles; possibly some contributory drainage area in southeastern New 

Mexico to Concho River; principal tributaries, Pedernales, Llano, San 

Saba, and Concho rivers, and Pecan Bayou. The Llano and Concho contribute a large part of the perennial flow.

The country drained below Austin is flat, alluvial bottom land, valuable 

for agricultural purposes. Although some lands above this point are tillable, in general the stream passes through a limestone formation and the 

catchment may be classed as rough. Several suitable reservoir sites are 

available, in the upper drainage basin, for storage of flood waters, but 

none have been developed above Austin. In Colorado, Wharton, and Matagorda counties large areas of rice are irrigated by pumping water from 

the stream. Along the river are distributed several dams, the most important of which are: Austin dam, just above the city of Austin at the 

mouth of a canyon-like channel through the limestone formation; and the 

San Angelo Light & Power Co.'s dam on South Concho River at San 

Angelo.

Gaging stations: Bronte, Ballinger, Chadwiek, Marble Falls, Austin, 

Columbus and Wharton.

Precipitation varies from 10 inches in the northwestern part of the catchment to 55 inches near the coast.

County, then southeasterly 32 miles through Zavalla County, 35 miles

Christi Bay (thence to the Gulf of Mexico). The stream forks into the 

East and West Nueces above the west central part of Uvalde County; total 

length, 315 miles; area of drainage basin, 16.800 square miles. Principal 

tributary, Frio River. Most of the other tributaries are short and unimportant.

The Nueces is not large as streams are rated in a humid country, but 

traversing a semiarid region, it is of the greatest economic importance, 

the drainage area lying almost wholly upon the Gulf Coastal Plain. After 

leaving the mountains of Edwards Plateau at a point near Uvalde, the flow 

varies on account, of seepage losses. The stream is formed by springs in 

the Edwards Plateau north of the Balcones escarpment and a constant flow 

is maintained until it reaches the foot of the Edwards Plateau, where the 

faulting zone intercepts the flow and it enters the porous formations below 

the surface. The underflow reaches the surface at points down stream 

where the gravel has been washed from the solid rock bottom and the flow 

is materially increased thereby.

The annual rainfall in the drainage varies from 15 inches in the plains 

country to 40 inches in the mountainous portion of the catchment.

Distributed along the river from source to mouth are a number of dams 

which furnish water for irrigation and municipal purposes. Artesian water 

exists in the Coastal Plain drainage and lands are being irrigated thereby.

RED RIVER. Formed in the southeastern part of Panhandle of Texas by the 

union of a number of headwater streams ; Prairie Dog Town Fork, which 

drains the large area and is therefore considered the continuation of the 

main stream, rises in the extreme western part of Deaf Smith County, the 

watershed extending into New Mexico at an approximate elevation of 4,500 

feet above sea level ; from its source it takes a general southeasterly course 

about 200 miles, crosses the Plains and Panhandle counties of Texas, and 

flows to a point on the east line of Childress County where it intersects the 

Texas-Oklahoma boundary line, thence along the boundary between Texas 

and Oklahoma approximately 440 miles, and along the Texas- Arkansas State 

line 40 miles; from the northwestern corner of Texas the stream turns 

abruptly to the south, flows about 60 miles through a corner of Arkansas, 

thence approximately 220 miles through Louisiana entering Mississippi 

River in Avoyelles Parish, La. Area of drainage basin in Texas, 30,700^ 

square miles. Principal tributaries in Texas : Sulphur, Wichita and Pease 

fivers, and Salt and North forks of Red River.

In its upper drainage across the Plains country the stream is but little 

more than a dry channel which in places is poorly defined and carries 

water only during times of heavy precipitation; its first perennial flow 

begins in Randall, Armstrong, and Briscoe counties and is derived from 

springs in the canyons which are cut to a depth of several hundred feet. 

East of Grayson County it passes through a timbered country of lieavy 

precipitation and the flow of the stream is augmented by many tributaries 

until in the low lands of Louisiana, east of the Texas boundary, it becomes 

a maze of swamps.

Comparatively little economic use is made of its waters, the principal 

reason being that where water is needed for irrigation there is a deficient 

supply/ Extensive use for power, irrigation and municipal purposes is 

made on some of its tributaries. Montague, Gainesville, and Denison 

topographic maps.

distance it flows through picturesque rock canyons, emerging therefrom 

above its mouth, where it enters the delta. Frequently there is no flow 

at El Paso, but the tributaries below furnish water for lands in the lower 

. drainage basin. Use is made of its waters for irrigation along its course, 

but water power is not developed. See Second Report of Texas Board of 

Water Engineers for list of certified filings for appropriations of water.

Texas.
