Where a river makes a sweeping curve, instead of following a more or less straight line, the result is often called a [[Big Bend]]. The curve of the Rio Grande river on the south border of the state of Texas is one of these places. The Big Bend National Park is named after this portion of the river. | Where a river makes a sweeping curve, instead of following a more or less straight line, the result is often called a [[Big Bend]].
