Watersheds of North America are large drainage basins which drain to separate oceans, seas, gulfs, or endorheic basins. There are six generally recognized hydrological continental divides which divide the continent into seven principal drainage basins spanning three oceans ( Arctic , Atlantic and Pacific ) and one endorheic basin.
Lake islands of North America: Atlin Lake, Theresa Island, highest elevation inside a freshwater lake in North America at 2059m; Lake Huron. Manitoulin Island, world's largest inland island; Saint Joseph Island, world's 8th largest inland island; Drummond Island, world's 9th largest inland island; Thirty Thousand Islands; Lake Superior
The list of drainage basins by area identifies basins (also known as "catchments" or, in North American usage, "watersheds"), sorted by area, which drain to oceans, mediterranean seas, rivers, lakes and other water bodies.
The west side of the divide continues to be the Suwannee River and then the Withlacoochee River watersheds. The southern terminus of the Eastern Continental Divide is at the triple divide between the St. Johns, Peace, and Kissimmee River watersheds, which is in Haines City, Florida on the Lake Wales Ridge.
Map of major river basins. These are the major U.S. river basins in the U.S., as designated by the U.S. Water Resources Council. [1] Each of these river basins contain a number of smaller river basins.
Map of Central America. The water in rivers in Central America flows to either the Atlantic Ocean or Pacific Ocean. The Río Coco, locally known as the Wanks, runs along the border with Honduras and is the longest river flowing totally within Central America. The second longest river in Central America is the Patuca River. [7] [8]
The newer delineation work on watersheds and subwatersheds was done using 1:24,000 scale maps and data. As a result, the subbasin boundaries were changed and adjusted in order to conform to the higher resolution watersheds within them. Changes to subbasin boundaries resulted in changes in area sizes.
