It doesn't appear as a feature. If you want to trace the approximate line a watershed, 1) decide what it's the watershed between (eg streams flowing to the English Channel versus those flowing to the Bristol Channel; 2) mark the headwaters of one category in one way and the headwaters of the other category in another; and then 3) draw a line that passes between the two types of headwater. The line won't cross any streams and will be very wavy! Hope this helps. Richard

On an OS map, a watershed is typically shown as a line that separates the direction of surface water flow. You can usually identify it by looking for high points or ridges where water flows in different directions on each side. Watersheds help to define the boundaries of different river basins and drainage areas.
