Unless, in the process, it’s diverted for irrigation to grow alfalfa to ship to Saudi Arabia. Then it ends up over there.

That's pretty impressive. How did you come across that??

I can save you a click…it’s ends up in something owned by Nestle.

Going through some old saved posts.

How many of us typed Palestine, OH into the search bar straight away?

It’s accurate to about 1/2 mile or so.

I live right on the subcontinent divide, have to go 1/2 mile over to get it to register going the other way.

I find it amazing that you can drop a pin right near the great lakes and the water still tracks all the way South to the Gulf of Mexico instead of just 50 to 100 miles into one of the lakes then down the St Lawrence river into the Atlantic

edit: dug more into it and this is a cool map of the flow areas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Divide_of_the_Americas#/media/File:NorthAmerica-WaterDivides.png

Triple Divide? An interesting place to pee

That is amazing! Thanks for the link.

What if that alfalfa goes to local dairies to produce milk and cheese?

Then it wouldn’t be in Saudi Arabia?

Anything similar for driving trip from say google maps?

I dropped a pin in Colorado and learned there’s a place along the Green River named Molly’s Nipple.

Took me down a rabbit hole where I learned an early pioneer to Utah named seven peaks, one butte, a well, a lake, and a ranch Molly’s Nipple to commemorate his wife’s nipples.

That’s a lot of nipples! This is the kind of stuff they should be teaching in geography.

This is one of the coolest things I've seen on the internet in a long time. It would be very helpful in many ways I bet to map out chemical spills and such if that got into a waterway. I'm learning about geography too. That's such a cool thing to do. Students in middle school should all be using this.

dude, this looks so much worse than I thought now that I have this. ALl the way to the Gulf.

My house in Atlanta was on the eastern continental divide. When you click on my back yard it flows to the Gulf and when you click across the street it flows to the Atlantic.

That’s wild!

I guess it has to be somewhere!

I’m guessing there aren’t many rivers near you?

Wow! This is very cool, thanks for sharing!

East Palestine, OH goes to the Ohio River and then the Mississippi. So fun!

Right, it was a mile or so to the headwaters of the creeks, and then all downhill from there. Back yard: Lullwater Creek>Peavine Creek>Peachtree Creek>Chattahoochee River>Apalachicola River>Gulf of Mexico
Across the street: Sugar Creek>South River>Ocmulgee River>Altamaha River>Atlantic Ocean
