USA River Map

The USA River Map traces the complex network of waterways that weave across the country, supplying fresh water and providing an alternate means of transport to communities along the way. In history, rivers in the US have been vital to the growth of the country and the movement of its people, as movement of goods and people was facilitated by ship.

The rivers in the US can be divided into two main systems: Eastern and Pacific. The Great Divide is the major continental divide in the United States which separates the rivers draining out into the Pacific Ocean from those that flow to the Atlantic. The Great Divide is located along the highest ridges of the Rocky Mountains, and can be viewed on the USA Physical Map.
