The North Fork Red River, sometimes called simply the "North Fork", is a tributary of the Red River about long, heading along the eastern Caprock Escarpment of the Llano Estacado about southwest of Pampa, Texas.〔United States Board on Geographical Names. 1960. Decisions on names in the United States: Alaska and Puerto Rico, Decisions rendered in May, June, and August 1959, Decision list no. 5903, United States Department of the Interior, Washington DC, p. 52.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The National Map )〕 Rising in Gray County, Texas, it terminates at the confluence with Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River at the Texas-Oklahoma border. ==Course== From its source in central Gray County, Texas, the river flows eastward, passing through Wheeler County, Texas, into Oklahoma. Just west of the Wheeler county line, it is joined by McClellan Creek, its chief tributary. In Oklahoma, the stream flows east across Beckham County where it joins Sweetwater Creek and then turns southeast to form the county line between Greer and Kiowa counties, where it is impounded to form Lake Altus-Lugert. In southern Greer County, the North Fork joins Elm Creek before turning in a more southerly direction, forming the border between Kiowa County and Jackson County, Oklahoma and Jackson County, and Tillman counties.〔 It joins the Prairie Dog Town Fork of the Red River at the Texas-Oklahoma border about northeast of Vernon, Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publications/pwdpubs/pwd_rp_t3200_1047/index.phtml )〕 Overall, the North Fork descends from its headwaters to its confluence with the Red River, passing through mostly rolling to flat terrain with local shallow depressions along its course.
