Exceptions
Many endorheic regions in North America complicate the simple view of east or west, "ocean-bound" water flow. Several endorheic basins straddle the continental divide, including the Great Divide Basin in Wyoming, the Guzmán Basin in New Mexico and Chihuahua, Mexico, and the Bolsón de Mapimí in Mexico.
Water from North Two Ocean Creek and Isa Lake, on the continental divide in Wyoming flow into both oceans.
An endoreic basin may be conceptually assigned to one side of the Divide or the other by its lowest perimeter pass.
