The Continental Divide is most likely what you are referring to though I would argue that it isn't imaginary. Paying attention to the topography you can visually extrapolate much of it. As water on the East side flows to the Atlantic and water on the West side flows to the Pacific, the ancient carving of those waters make it apparent.
