Points[edit]

There should be a triple divide point where the Continental Divide splits at the top of Guzman basin about (32.6,107.9) and I think it would be Rio Grande, Colorado and the basin (Mimbres River). The southern triple is at about (28,105).Sbalfour (talk) 19:27, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There’s also the bolson de whatever in southern Chihuahua to demarcate.Sbalfour (talk) 20:42, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quadruple divide[edit]

Then mention there is no such thing on earth. 65.95.194.171 (talk) 19:40, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Only North America?[edit]

"North America is the only continent, excluding the Antarctica ice fields, that has a triple point dividing basins draining into three different oceans."

Doesn't Eurasia have four oceans around it (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Ocean, Arctic)? Bever (talk) 03:12, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll direct you to this text from the article on Triple Divide Peak (Montana):

"Discounting Antarctica and its ice sheets, only one other continent (Asia) borders three oceans, but the inward-draining endorheic basin area of Central Asia from western China to the Aral and Caspian Seas is so vast that any Arctic and Indian Ocean tributaries are never within proximity of each other. Thus, North America's status of having a single location draining into three oceans is unique in the world. (Some sources, however, consider Hudson Bay to be part of the Atlantic and, thus, Snow Dome – partially in Jasper National Park, on the border of the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, Canada – to be the continent's sole hydrological apex.)"

South America and Asia[edit]

There should be some triple points in South America and Asia. Anyone have references?
