water always finds it's level? Yes, but you're not thinking.
I can have a perfectly flat piece of ground with a depression in the middle that holds a lake. The points of opposite sides of the lake can have the same elevation. You can see one from the other. All this can happen on a round earth if the little area you are looking at happens to not curve. There are flat areas, maybe you found one.
The surface of the continental crust is irregular, not perfectly curved.
Think it out.
