Endorheic basin adjoining the Continental Divide in southern Wyoming, USA
Not to be confused with Great Basin Divide or Great Basin.
Great Divide Basin
The Great Divide Basin (the uppermost "loop" on the map above) is an endorheic drainage basin on the Continental Divide (red line) in the United States.
The Great Divide Basin or Great Divide Closed Basin[3] is an area of land in the Red Desert of Wyoming where none of the water falling as rain to the ground drains into any ocean, directly or indirectly. It is thus an endorheic basin, one of several in North America that adjoin the Continental Divide. To the south and west of the basin is the Green River watershed, draining to the Gulf of California/Pacific Ocean; to the north and east is the North Platte watershed, draining to the Gulf of Mexico. The basin is very roughly rectangular in shape; the northwest corner is at Oregon Buttes near South Pass, about 40 miles (64 km) southwest of Lander, and the southeast corner is in the Sierra Madre Range near Bridger Pass, about 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Rawlins.[4][5]
