The Continental Divide, also known as the Great Divide, is a natural boundary that separates the watersheds of North America's major river systems. It runs from the northernmost point of Alaska, through the Rocky Mountains, and down to New Mexico. Water on one side of the divide flows toward the Pacific Ocean, while water on the other side flows toward the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. This geographical feature plays a crucial role in determining the direction of river flow and has significant ecological and hydrological implications.
