Yeah, it may not be obvious.
Close by here is the divide between the Pembina River which goes to the Arctic Ocean (via the Athabasca, Slave and Mackenzie rivers), and Hoople Lake which is the headwaters of the Sturgeon Rive which goes into the North Saskatchewan and eventually Hudson Bay.
Some years ago I happened to fly over Oklahoma and totally surprised by how green and moist the eastern third of the state looked. Some places even looked swampy. There are actually alligators in SE Oklahoma, near the Arkansas border.
As far as I could find out, they are indeed two separate cities with distinct governments. I don’t know of any city that lies in two states but has one city government.
That kind of depends on what is meant by “two separate cities” and/or “one big city divided in two by state lines”. There are lots of places that are “two separate cities” in terms of government but are “one big city divided in two” when it comes to living daily life. This happens all the time in border areas but when the two cities have different names, there’s no confusion about whether it’s a single city or not.
Reading this thread back, the earlier comments about landmarks of disappointing size are sort of weird. I mean, if the landmark is called the ‘very tall tower’ or something, and you get there and it’s actually not very tall, the disappointment would be entirely justified, but a general expectation to have been impressed by the size attribute of a sculpture or painting or landmark or monument, when it’s not billed as just being a big thing, is just… odd.
The city of Lloydminster is one entity incorporated by both Alberta and Saskatchewan. I believe the Saskatchewan side observes Daylight Savings Time even though the rest of the province does not (kind of like how West Wendover is the only tiny part of Nevada that is on Mountain Time).
