Explanation

The Rio Grande (known in Mexico as the Río Bravo del Norte) is the primary river that forms a natural international boundary between the United States and Mexico. It defines the border between the U.S. state of Texas and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas, stretching for approximately 1,254 miles (2,018 km).

  • Colorado River: While it flows into Mexico and forms a very small portion of the border (about 17 miles), it is not the principal border river.
  • Mississippi River: This is a major river located entirely within the United States.
  • Amazon River: This is the largest river in South America, primarily flowing through Brazil and Peru.
