Geography
The Double Mountain Fork Brazos River begins as a shallow draw near the eastern edge of the Llano Estacado in Lynn County, about 3.1 mi (5 km) 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. At the western edge of Kent County, about 12 mi (20 km) east-northeast of Justiceburg, the Double Mountain Fork merges with the North Fork.
