Double Mountain Fork Brazos River : ウィキペディア英語版 | Double Mountain Fork Brazos River
The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River is an ephemeral, sandy-braided stream about long, heading on the Llano Estacado of West Texas about southeast of Tahoka, Texas, flowing east-northeast across the western Rolling Plains to join the Salt Fork, forming the Brazos River about west-northwest of Haskell, Texas.〔United States Board on Geographical Names. 1964. Decisions on Geographical Names in the United States, Decision list no. 6402, United States Department of the Interior, Washington DC, p. 51.〕 ==Geography== The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River begins as a shallow draw near the eastern edge of the Llano Estacado in Lynn County, about northeast of the small farming community of Draw, Texas. The stream generally runs eastward across southern Garza County, where it is fed by springs, providing a minimal base flow that is intermittently punctuated by rainfall and associated runoff.〔Brune, G.M. 1981. Springs of Texas. Fort Worth, TX: Branch-Smith, p. 193-195.〕 At the western edge of Kent County, approximately east-northeast of Justiceburg, the Double Mountain Fork merges with the North Fork. The Double Mountain Fork then continues eastward across southern Kent County, northwestern Fisher County and into southern Stonewall County, where it passes to the south of Double Mountains, a pair of flat-topped hills located southwest of Aspermont, Texas. Double Mountains forms part of the high ground dividing the watersheds of the Salt Fork to the north and the Double Mountain Fork to the south. To the east of Double Mountains, the Double Mountain Fork flows into western Haskell County before turning north and back westward into eastern Stonewall County where it merges with the Salt Fork to form the Brazos River (proper), northeast of Aspermont, Texas.
