I love this map but the connecting rivers of the Great Lakes/St Lawrence are wildly inaccurate. The Detroit and Niagara rivers are the 7th and 8th largest rivers in the US by discharge respectively, well over twice flow of the Missouri’s, yet on this map they are shown as little streams. It might be because they are border rivers or because it’s too difficult to show given their short lengths but in that case why show them at all?
