The Gaillard Cut, also known as the Culebra Cut, was necessary due to the challenging topography of the Continental Divide in Panama. This mountainous region presented significant elevation changes that would have hindered the construction of a sea-level canal. By excavating the Gaillard Cut, engineers were able to create a navigable route through the divide, allowing ships to pass between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans more effectively. The cut was crucial in facilitating the overall functionality of the Panama Canal.
