Roanoke County Watersheds
A watershed is an area of land that all drains to a common point.
Activities upstream will impact waterways downstream in the watershed. For instance, click here for a link to the Chesapeake Bay watershed, and here to see the Bay's watershed broken down into smaller watersheds. In Roanoke County, water drains to local creeks, and eventually to the Roanoke River. The map below shows watersheds in Roanoke County.
