Russian term or phrase: междуречье (не историческая область)
In Russian we have a term "междуречье" to denote the territory between any two more or less parallel rivers. If I understand this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interfluve) wiki article correctly, in English interfluve is applicable only to rather small areas. Whereas, e.g. междуречье Оби и Енисея or Лено-Вилюйское междуречье are covering tens of thousands of square km and tens of landscape forms. So, is there a term in English that I can use to translate междуречье in such cases, or do I have to use constructions like "the territory between the Lena and Vilyuy Rivers"?
