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.

The South Platte River flows north for a time, near Denver, Colorado, running parallel to the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Somewhat after Platteville, Colorado, the river makes a huge, ninety degree bend to flow east until it meets with the North Platte in Nebraska. This portion of the river is known to be a good place to find petrified wood. Part of the region near the curve is called the "Big Bend" area, and includes an old school building named after it. | The South Platte River flows north for a time, near Denver, Colorado, running parallel to the Front Range of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
