	::While true, watershed maps abstract away information about elevation, which is more important for predicting what sea level rise will do than drainage. It's complicated by river flow volume and speed, geographical features, etc., but never significant more than a few hundred km above an estuary. Basically, if and only if the river has measurable tides, it will be affected by sea level rise (that almost goes without saying that way.) So Florida will be a lot more screwed than 90% of people's local Mississippi.
