"Book is organized by major watersheds, starting in the east. Each chapter has been ordered from the downstream end to headwaters. When the branches have branches, they have been ordered in the same manner. In addition, is included a watershed map with each chapter's introduction. If you are searching for streams in a specific area, this order will be convenient. There is also an alphabetical index in the back of the book. River reports include sections and characteristics of that stretch. Each section begins with a table of vital statistics: gradient, difficulty, distance, time, scenery and map."--
