The Continental Divide, also known as the Great Divide, is a natural boundary that separates the watersheds of North America. It runs from the northernmost point in Canada, through the Rocky Mountains, and down to New Mexico. Rainfall and melting snow on one side of the divide flow toward the Pacific Ocean, while water on the other side flows toward the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. This geographic feature plays a significant role in determining river systems and ecosystems across the continent.
