The Rouston River is the second largest in the Simtropolis region. It should be pronounced as (IPA) ˈɹɔstʌn, rather than ˈɹjustʌn. This is a common mistake, due to it's proximity and similar spelling to the Rio Houston. The latter has since been renamed Rio Seguín, in order to alleviate the confusion.

Location

The Rouston River is located south of the continental divide of the continent of South Simtropolis. The river starts in southern Metropolitan Houston, and runs down into Audland. From there it runs further south through Audland's major cities, and empties in the Rouston Delta National Wildlife Preserve.

Shipping

The Rouston River is mostly level up until Lancaster. At Lancaster, the Rouston River Channel begins. The canal runs with the river from Lancaster to Clinton. The last lock is between McCarthy and New Scotland, but from that lock the river is navigable for shipping for another 203 km.
