Rio Grande
Major river in the southwestern United States, rising in south-central Colorado Territory, flowing southward through New Mexico Territory and forming the border between Texas and Mexico, with it's mouth on the Gulf of Mexico.[1]
The Jeweled Gun: In April of 1876, Bret and Bart Maverick rode along the Rio Chama from the Colorado Territory into New Mexico Territory to its confluence with the Rio Grande. There,[2] the brothers parted ways, Bret taking the northern trail to take him to Clayton, and Bart taking the southern trail to Santa Fe.[4]
