Blacksburg is on the Eastern Continental Divide


It drains both ways: Atlantic and Mississippi/Gulf of Mexico, depending upon where you are in town. There is a historical marker on Main street to alert you to this fact. At least I've always thought of it as a fact. Otherwise, why the marker?
For some reason, I recall that it is the Eastern-most point of the Eastern Continental Divide. But that recollection may have been influenced at some point by alcohol. And I'm not sure why I'm replying anyway. I think of Tech as 1. Southern, 2. Mid-Atlantic, 3. Eastern. Midwestern isn't on the list.
