Roaring Springs (Texas)

The Roaring Springs (at 33°51' N, 100°52' W), formerly known as Jessamine Springs, are a group of springs near the Tongue or South Pease River three miles south of the town of Roaring Springs and a mile west of State Highway 70 in south central Motley County. The springs are recharged on the High Plains to the west, where rain seeps into the Ogallala sand and Dockum sandstone. They were named for the sound of the rushing water that travelers could hear a considerable distance away. Ancient people used bedrock mortar holes in the sandstone near the springs to grind corn, hackberries, and various fruits and nuts.
