In a mountain. A river drains a large area of the landscape so it has many sources, but the label "the source" is often placed on the part that is furthest inland. In the USA, there is a divide along the rocky mountains. On the west side, water will eventually flow to the Pacific Ocean, on the east side it will flow to the atlantic. So the source of say a river in California, could be no further east than the rocky mountains.
