Awesome map!
But! Should Huron-Michigan count as one lake, or two, or three?
BakerBagel , 1 day ago Hydrologicly they are one, two lobed lake. But for cultural and commercial reasons they function more as two separate lakes. Similar to how the Adriatic and Aegean Sea are the same body of water as the Mediterranean.

someguy3 , 2 days ago That's a surprisingly small watershed for such large lakes. Does it rain a lot or is it just accumulated over a very long time?

Yondoza , 2 days ago Honestly, for how much fresh water they hold, I'm surprised how small their watershed is.

s38b35M5 , 2 days ago (edited 2 days ago) What tease! This great map begs for my close scrutiny. Alas! It will not bear it. Edit: Here is a decent hi res map of the watershed. Boy, do I want to read every detail of that map you shared, OP. I'm going down the rabbit-hole! Edit2: Another mid/low res map of the basin, but its awfully MS-Paint. Edit3: found this digital version, but no better, really: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/22374f25-2ceb-41c2-b76b-8fd3aa74dc80.jpeg EditFinal: Here's a depth and elevation profile that I found that's clear and fairly detailed. I am too busy today to get further sucked in, but I could spend the rest of my day staring at these maps... https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/5165b499-40b1-420d-ae27-ea390ec5e93b.jpeg
