Several of my last postings dealt with the ease of creating a watershed map using ARCGIS on-line vs. the difficulty of doing it several years ago in GRASS. One blog that deals with streetlamps and New York and various forms of Transportation (Forgotten NY) had a posting on the mysterious and perhaps haunted Chamber Street subway station at Chambers and Centre Street Manhattan, under the Municipal Building. That station has what is called a "water condition" and the site where the Municipal Building is located was once the site of a pond or some sort of collect pool, according to old maps. I ran a watershed analysis in ARCGIS on-line and the results are above for a focal point of Chambers and Centre Streets. The watershed is shown bounded by the red line.. It is interesting to note that in the bounded region, there is a park called the "Collect Pond Park" and is one source perhaps of the water. The range was set at 1000 feet. Larger ranges over 2000 feet creates a watershed that goes to Brooklyn, which is an impossibility because of the East River.
