I am just interested because I know that in Minnesota the rivers flow in three directions: East toward the Gulf of St. Lawrence via the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River; north toward Hudson Bay via Lake of the Woods, Lake Winnipeg and Nelson River; and south toward the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River.
@chiquito74 There is a hill in Hibbing Minnesota called by what the Chippewas named it, the Hill of Three Waters. This is the triple divide where all three of the systems you mentioned meet. Unfortunately it's on land owned by a mining company so you can't stand on it.
That hill is amazing, nice video

Laurentian Divide? Is that the drainage division between the St. Lawrence and Hudson Bay or St. Lawrence and Mississippi River?

There is a sign there, and I am pretty sure it said it was the divide between the Mississippi, and Hudson Bay. Jack
