The headwaters of the river rise at the base of the Foster Range near the southwestern edge of the Drysdale River National Park. The river flows in a northerly direction along the Carson Escarpment and discharges into the King Edward River near Aragoon, about {{convert|12|km|mi|0}} south of Kalumburu. The river has four tributaries, including Morgan River, Swida Creek and Pronga-Marie Creek. The river was named in 1886 by the explorer Charles Burrowes while surveying the area for the Victoria Squatting Company. He named it after a director of the company, David Carson.[2] The river contains several permanent pools where examples of Indigenous Australian art known as Bradshaw paintings can be found along the cliff faces.[3] The traditional owners of the areas around the river are the Wilawila, Miwa and Wunambal peoples.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://maps.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&cmd=sp&p=210068&st=&s=Carson%20River|title= Bonzle Digital Atlas – Map of Carson River|year= 2009|accessdate= 12 March 2009}} {{coord|14|25|59|S|126|38|04|E|type:river_region:AU-WA|display=title}}{{Rivers of Western Australia}}{{WesternAustralia-river-stub}}2. ^{{LandInfo WA|r|C|3 September 2011}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/bradshaws/kimberley1.php|title=Bradshaw Foundation - Rock Art Archives |year=2010|accessdate=2 July 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ausanthrop.net/resources/ausanthrop_db/detail.php?id_search=568 |title=Ausanthrop - Australian Aboriginal tribal database |year=2012 |accessdate=30 April 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150927024156/http://www.ausanthrop.net/resources/ausanthrop_db/detail.php?id_search=568 |archivedate=27 September 2015 |df=dmy }} 2 : Rivers of Western Australia|Kimberley (Western Australia) |
