This map of United States water resource subregion hydrologic units updated boundaries to include the ocean as well as the portions of the basins that cross international borders For the use of hydrologists, ecologists, and water-resource managers in the study of surface water flows in the United States, the United States Geological Survey ...
Fresh river water flowing from the Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico does not mix into the salt water immediately. The images from NASA's MODIS show a large plume of fresh water, which appears as a dark ribbon against the lighter-blue surrounding waters.

Watershed delineation is the process of identifying the boundary of a watershed, also referred to as a catchment, drainage basin, or river basin.It is an important step in many areas of environmental science, engineering, and management, for example to study flooding, aquatic habitat, or water pollution.
This is a list of all tripoints in which the boundaries of three (and only three) U.S. states converge at a single geographic point. Of the 60 such points, 36 are on dry land and 24 are in water. [1] Of the points in water, 3 are in the Great Lakes and thus have no land nearby.
The Boundary Waters is the largest wilderness area east of the Rocky Mountains. It spans more than 1 million acres along the U.S.-Canada border and is filled with forests, glacial lakes and streams.
