The Great Continental Divide is a geographic feature that determines the directional flow of rivers and drainage basins in North America. It separates the watersheds that flow into the Pacific Ocean from those that flow into the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. It runs along the peaks of the Rocky Mountains from Alaska to Mexico.
