Really cool! Thank you for posting that.

Reminds me of when I was helping with harvest in Alberta in 78. Can't remember place names very well, but near Stirling. We drove a piece west, I think, and was swathing barley on what the boss called "The Ridge", just a twisting mass of hills and hollows.

He said that at that point of the province, the watershed split and ran either west or north, I think, being the Continental Divide. I may be mistaken on the details but that's what I recall.

You can ski accross the continental divide but I'm pretty sure you weren't swathing barley up there🤔

Yes very nifty website. The Rosebud River starts at my place and as you follow it down I see some of the names and lakes the Sk Agrivillers talk about so that's cool. It's amazing as I see how much my river can swell here during runoff at the headwaters and all the other tributaries as well, how can the banks hold all that water for thousands of miles?

Well you would know better than I but I do recall the chap saying that the waters ran in two directions from that point.

Fascinating tool. But not quite accurate. Unless water has learned to run uphill.

Just a few miles west of our farm there is a divide. everything west of it ends up in the North Saskatchewan River, and east of there ends up in the South Saskatchewan, not to be reunited for another ~1500 km according to the website.

And the bigger river keeps trying to break into the smaller river and go east, instead of north which appears to be the natural route it would want to take, and has in the past, man keeps trying to stop it. Just as well that it doesn't since we have some land in the path it would take.

It already does it underground, feeding springs that go the other direction.

Most of my pasture is on a continent divide, north side would drain into the Hudson Bay and the south side into the Gulf of Mexico.

The jagged border between British Columbia and Alberta is another continental divide.

Maps are fun!
