Thanks much. I swear I looked at the help file but somehow did not see this.

I appreciate your help.

you can find direction by multipy the number by 45 (against east CCW)

from help page:

/drainage/
   Output map: drainage direction. Provides the "aspect" for each cell
   measured CCW from East. Multiplying positive values by 45 will give
   the direction in degrees that the surface runoff will travel from
   that cell. The value 0 (zero) indicates that the cell is a
   depression area (defined by the depression input map). Negative
values indicate that surface runoff is leaving the boundaries of the
   current geographic region. The absolute value of these negative
   cells indicates the direction of flow.

r.watershed can produce a map of "drainage directions".

The values of a direction map are in the range of -8 - +8

Can someone tell me what these numbers refer to? That is, what
direction is 3 or -3? I've tried to run some correlations against an
aspect map and am not getting meaningful results yet.

Thanks
Michael
