rivered

Crossed by streams

Rivered describes something marked or crossed by rivers: rivered valleys, a densely rivered landscape.

The word appears most often in geographic or poetic contexts.

In poker slang, to get rivered means to lose a hand when your opponent catches a winning card on the river—the final community card dealt: I had him beat until I got rivered.
