XKCD is usually more astute. The lack of the Colorado River, and The Grand Canyon, is a glaring omission.

"XKCD is usually more astute. The lack of the Colorado River, and The Grand Canyon, is a glaring omission."

Does the Colorado cut off a land mass? I don't think the Colorado even reaches the sea anymore, let alone psuesocleave apart a part of the continent.

That was a fun last sentence to say.

What could possibly cleave the continent more than the Grand Canyon? In many places it’s a barrier that can’t be crossed except by flight.

It’s a prominent river until Yuma, AZ, which is not too far from the Gulf of California. And even if the water doesn’t always flow, it forms the boundary between the Mexican states of Baja and Sonora.
