High in the Rocky Mountains, there is a place of great geographical significance -- a location marked, if it is marked at all, only by a few road signs. If you stand at this place and empty a canteen of water into the ground, it makes a great deal of difference where you stand; for if you stand in one place, the water runs to the Atlantic, and if you stand but a few feet to the west, it flows to the Pacific.

That place, of course, is known as the Continental Divide. It's the boundary-line -- high atop the Rocky Mountain ridge -- between two great watersheds.
