I think this is the look the girl that tattooed her stretch marks was going for.

Interesting fact...Texas doesnt have one natural lake.
Alabama essentially doesn't have one, either. The largest is Lake Jackson in Florala. And half of that lake is in Florida. The widest part of that lake may be a mile across north to south, maybe 1/2 mile east to west.

What’s with the landlocked watersheds? Where does that water go?
The biggest is the Humbolt River in northern Utah. Not a lot of rainfall out there, and no drainage out of the state, River ends in a marsh.
Many of the valleys out in the Block Faulted Valley and Range have subterranean water, but much of it is from the time of glaciers. Permanent well draw down out there is a serious problem.
It's easy to forget that rainfall out west is almost nonexistent by east coast standards.
Oregon is the state for lakes according to a geographer friend of mine who chose to move out there.
To my mind the most interesting lake south of the Mason Dixon line is Mountain Lake in Southwest Virginia, on the top of a mountain with a classic hotel overlooking the Lake. LINK

Look at the map and recall the Lewis and Clark expedition rowed upstream from near St Louis to the Continental Divide.
That's some tough SOBs.

So if my dog pees in the yard in Pittsburgh, it all flows to New Orleans eventually.

So if the United States had an a-hole where would it be ?

Water flows, gets evaporated, gets pushed to the heavens, clouds form that dump rain or snow, droplets fall back down to earth to water flowing and the cycle continues.

I’m not big on the environmental movement and sub religion it created and all, but maps like this make you think “yeah, we should probably keep track of some things.”

I have never thought of looking this up but thank you because I kind of want to go see that now. I grew up in South Louisiana so I only know the mississipi from that perspective, but to see it from up there is something I kind of want to check out now.
