Weird how the dividing line goes thru the channel
As a cartographer, I can attest that is very common for watercourses (even channelized ones) to be used as geographic or political boundaries.
A look at most large-area maps will provide examples... (Texas has three boundary segments that are rivercourses -- Rio Grande, Red & Sabine Rivers.)
