Just curious, at what point is the continental divide on the US/Canada border in which water on the west-side flows west through the Rainy Watershed and water on the east-side flows east through the Gunflint Lakes/Pigeon River into Superior?
Is it Lac la Croix or somewhere near that area?
Not exactly how it works. Two divides converge around Hibbing.

Height of Land Portage, between North and South Lakes. Just east of Gunflint, located here:
It’s on highway 38 about 23 miles north of Grand Rapids. The marker is on the east side of the road. There’s another 3-way divide south of Eveleth and one north of Hibbing.

While un-marked there is a minor divide right at the Rochester airport.
There is a marker on HWY 53 at about mile marker 70 north of Virginia for the Laurentian Divide.
Awesome! Thanks everyone. Appreciate everyone satisfying my Friday afternoon Nerdery!
