Kanahatino

Kanahatino is the name probably used by Caddoan-speaking peoples for the Colorado River of Texas. The river rises in intermittent draws on the high plains of the west and runs about 600 miles generally southeast to its mouth on Matagorda Bay. Its drainage covers nearly 40,000 square miles, and tributaries including the Concho, San Saba, Llano and Pedernales join it on the way to the Gulf coast.
