Letter: enjoyed the watershed division video

Phillip Coffey writes:
Enjoyed watching and listening to the discussion of Ben Arnold and Billy Joe Fudge about watershed divisions on Billy Joe's home place. Guessing that wasn't considered when the house was constructed.

The road from Keltner to Sparksville (highway 768) divides the watersheds of Russell Creek which flows into Green River and East Fork of Little Barren which joins South Fork of Little Barren, downstream of Sulphur Well, to empty into Green River. The drainages of Little Barren meets drainages of Russell Creek in our Green River near Highway 88 in western Green County. For what it's worth.
