Explorers crossing the Continental Divide typically navigated various rivers, but one notable example is the Missouri River. The Continental Divide separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean from those that drain into the Atlantic Ocean. In the context of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, they crossed the Divide at the headwaters of the Missouri River, where it flows into the Atlantic watershed. Other explorers, depending on their routes, may have crossed different rivers along the Divide.
