It's so interesting how this pattern appears in nature everywhere, like lightning, roots of a tree, veins etc.

Nature loves fractals, fun to read about if you ever get a chance.
I particularly like the colors/boundaries show all the feeder rivers. I'm jumping back and forth between this and a regular map to match up lakes with some of these rivers.
beautiful. the first map i generated in QGIS for a class was a hydrologic map like this, thickness determines by strahler rank. we didn't colorize by drainage like this might be? so it was all just blue lines in black with an administrative boundary for the place of interest, entire background in black.
cool shit.
goddam looks beautiful
I can see where some of the national borders align with the river basins, neat!
