Description

This spot is marked as the Eastern Intercontinental divide. If this cow walks 10 steps to the east and urinates, that pee flows into the Chesapeake. If it walks 10 steps to the west, that pee will flow into the Gulf of Mexico via the Ohio and Mississippi. If it urinates where it's standing, the pee will puddle, evaporate and probably land in the Yukon.
