The third river is Hiddekel, and many believe this refers to the Tigris River. The fourth river is Euphrates.
Some believe the Tigris and Euphrates survived the flood in some recognizable form. Others believe post-flood rivers may have been named after pre-flood rivers. Either way, we do not have enough data to determine the exact location of the Garden of Eden.
What we do know is that God placed man in a prepared, watered, fruitful, and beautiful world.
