Question

Is the Continental Divide in the exact middle of the country ?

Answer 1

No. The continental divide or, in the case of North America, divides, determines where the water will flow. West of the Western Continental divide, water flows towards the Pacific Ocean. East of the Western Divide, water flows toward the Mississippi River. East of the Eastern Divide, water flows to the Atlantic Ocean and West of the Eastern Divide, water flows toward the Mississippi River.
