A new, unforgettable image is revealing how water flows through every river basin in the United States.
The stunning visualization follows the path of blue gold throughout the country. Surprisingly, no area is too far from the path of water.
For instance, the arid Southwest may go months without significant rainfall, yet most of the region is threaded by hundreds of rivers fanning out from the Upper and Lower Colorado Rivers.
The new map was created by geographer Robert Szucs, who goes by the username Fejetlenfej on the image curation site Imgur. Szucs created the map using open-source mapping software and publicly available data.
