I thought this question was settled definitively by Lewis and Clark in 1805.
The answer is no. There's something called the Rocky Mountains that
forms a Continental Divide from north to south through most of North
America.
But a more intriguing question for my fellow geodweebs: Assuming
maximum springtime streamflows and small canoes, where would the
easiest portage be? Sweetwater River to Big Sandy River in Wyoming?
Between the Rios Puercos of New Mexico?
