The Continental Divide stretches from Alaska to Mexico, separating the watersheds of the Pacific and other oceans.

The Continental Divide in North America spans from Alaska down to Mexico. This continuous ridge acts as a hydrological divide, determining which direction rivers flow. Water on the west side flows towards the Pacific Ocean, while water on the east side flows toward the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, or the Gulf of Mexico. It's a crucial geographical feature influencing the continent's drainage patterns.
