Watersheds!
Excellent!
My personal favorites are the Columbia watershed and the Niger watershed. But really they are all good in their own way. Are there any political boundaries that are also watershed boundaries? There used to be back in the days of colonialism when you could just walk up to the mouth of the Mississippi and claim the whole watershed of that river for your sovereign. I don't think any of those borders lasted though.
Side note: Why isn't the Mississippi river called the Louisiana river? That would make so much more sense, for political, historical, cultural and geographic reasons wouldn't it?
