Brazos

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Brazos

River flowing through Texas, USA; length 1,350 km/840 mi. It is formed from the confluence of the Salt Fork and Double Mountain Fork (which rise southeast of Lubbock and meet in Stonewall County), and is joined by the Clear Fork in Young County. It flows past Waco, to the west of Houston, out into the Gulf of Mexico.

Course

Just southeast of the Clear Fork's confluence with the main river, the Brazos passes through Possum Kingdom Lake. It then flows southeast, to the west of Fort Worth. Near Whitney, it flows through Lake Whitney, at the Balcones Escarpment. It continues southeast into the Gulf Coastal Plain, reaching the sea in the Brazosport area.
