Try the TauDEM Stream Reach and Watershed (Streamnet) function https://hydrology.usu.edu/taudem/taudem5/help53/StreamReachAndWatershed.html.

David,
Your comment made me go back and look more carefully at that tool. I had used it, but didn't know it created a vector layer, because that layer doesn't get added to the map, like the grids do. Once I found that the order wasn't just a grid, but also a shapefile, that totally solved my problem, creating a clean stream layer.

The arctool dialog for that tool adds a "dbf" to the filename for the vector layer, not "shp", so I thought it was just creating a table that I wasn't necessarily going to use. So, raising the profile of that output would be good, since that's really the main thing you want from that tool, and the only tool that creates the vector layer.

Thanks again for all your work on these tools, and for pointing me toward a closer look at that function.
Tom
