Hydrology of the
Texas High Plains Brazos River Watershed

 

"My canteen was empty of its sweet city water.  I filled it at the river, propped it in the coals with dry sticks around it, and sat watching its contents boil to purity if not to palatability.  They say Old Man John Chisum's cowboys, accustomed to water from the same mineral-laden redbed that taints the Brazos far to the west, used to carry shakers of salt when they trailed into strange country, that their drink might taste the same as usual..."

From John Graves Goodbye to a River 1957
