Western Rivers

[edit]

I changed instances of "western rivers" to, instead, "West Coast rivers" to avoid confusion with the U.S. legal term Western Rivers, which refers to rivers west of the Allegheny Mountains—including most notably the Mississippi. The term is still in use today, but it predates, if I'm not mistaken, U.S. acquisition of or claim to the West Coast. — Muffuletta 20:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Basic Definitions

[edit]

This article does not define the term "inland waterway" (nor the related term "intracoastal waterway," which also appears as "intercoastal" in the image caption). 76.23.157.102 (talk) 19:29, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It also fails to mention one of the biggest waterways - the Great Lakes-Saint Lawrence Seaway. Rmhermen (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I added the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence, but I'm also vague on the definition. -- Beland (talk) 04:25, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also missing the Erie Canal and Champlain canals

Map

[edit]

Could use a higher-resolution map, with labels. Similar to a nationwide version of File:Mississippi watershed map 1.jpg. -- Beland (talk) 04:28, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete Map

[edit]

The first map on the page is missing 3 major river systems in the United States: the Missouri River, Rio Grande and Colorado River... It is unfinished. Stevenmitchell (talk) 10:16, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's also missing the entire Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and its associated canals and navigable rivers. Thepsyborg (talk) 15:53, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
