[SASKFARMER]

Is that site higher resolution than the regular maps?

Can see the cow paths in my pasture and I think the cows walking on them.

I was looking at a map of the Saskatchewan river watershed. It shows a big gap between the north and south sask rivers somewhat centered on the Sask AB border and straight west of Saskatoon.

So if that areas isn't part of the watershed, and it can't go anywhere else, being surrounded by the Sask river watershed, is it just a giant pothole that doesn't drain? Destined to become an inland sea if it ever rains there?

I’m sure that during a major flood in biblical proportions that would be an inland sea. Kinda like this area south of Moose Jaw.

Really cool! Thank you for posting that.

Reminds me of when I was helping with harvest in Alberta in 78. Can't remember place names very well, but near Stirling. We drove a piece west, I think, and was swathing barley on what the boss called "The Ridge", just a twisting mass of hills and hollows.

He said that at that point of the province, the watershed split and ran either west or north, I think, being the Continental Divide. I may be mistaken on the details but that's what I recall.

Somewhere between the milk river and old man river must be a continental divide, it might not be really noticeable but must be some kind of higher elevation between the two rivers.

This is another divide , one of my favourite spots
Loch Leven water ends up in Hudson Bay via the South Sask river
Loch Lomond water ends up in the Gulf of Mexico
