Thanks to Hamish and Markus Metz,

What I am doing is comparing two or three (possibly four) types of megaliths in my study area and trying to understand the relation ship between both contemporary monuments and later monuments. While I was looking at old GIS maps, I was looking at the stream and basin maps and had overlaid the monuments on these maps.

First off, the vector river and stream maps, representing the current water ways are a bit different then the stream map. The physical streams do seem to follow the stream maps, but there are many more branches on the stream map than there are actual streams.

Some of the megalithic tombs types seem to fall into the web of the streams, while others don’t. I think this is important. I am, unfortunately, an archaeologist, not a hydrologist, so I am not up on watershed lingo.

What I need to know is what information on these maps may tell me something important. For example, are the stream systems shown on the watershed stream maps just important of them selves, or might the values the colors represent tell me something? Is there a way to isolate them?

I guess what I am hoping for is a hydrologist who uses grass and can explain what I am looking at in the real world.
