Methodology

Methods: 

In ArcMap, the Ipswich and Parker Watersheds were selected with the select feature tool and the selected features were exported as a new shapefile.
Orignal map titled "Major Watersheds" downloaded from MassGIS, source date June 2000.

The new watershed file was imported into Idrisi Kiliminjaro as a vector file. The .vdc file was edited to assign the names of each watershed to the proper polygon.
