United States, Pacific Ocean coast
The following coastal rivers of the United States have their mouth on the Pacific Ocean:[49]
Endorheic basins
Major endorheic basins of the world. Basins are shown in dark gray; major endorheic lakes are shown in black. Colored regions represent the major drainage patterns of the continents to the oceans (non-endorheic). Continental divides are indicated by dark lines.
There are Endorheic basins in several regions of the Americas. Rivers in these basins do not reach the oceans. The largest endorheic basin is the Great Basin (209,162 sq mi (541,730 km2 )) in North America. There are also several endorheic basins in South America, including the Altiplano Basin (59,528 sq mi (154,180 km2 )).[51]
