Grand Divide

The Grand Divide is an indistinct ridge in northern Missouri, between the Iowa border and Moberly, that separates the watersheds of the Missouri River and Mississippi River. This ridge and numerous major streams in the northern part of the state follow a rather linear north-south orientation, related to glaciation. The ridge was used as a pioneer road called the Bee Trace, the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern Railroad, and currently U.S. Highway 63.

gollark: Well, we need some forge-y thing because of having 105 or so Forge mods, see, and some sort of Sponge/Spigot/who even knows thing would be annoying.

gollark: We could run it as forge™ and hope we don't need spigot plugins™.

gollark: I could* do that, yes.
