Hi Mike, seeing the area might help a bit to see if anyone has any tips.
It can be difficult to get the water flow directions right even with OCM.
My general tips are, with limited effectiveness:
zoom out a lot to see what the general watershed and terrain looks like
whitewater points in the direction of flow, meaning it trails after the
obstruction in the waterway.
Try and follow the waterway to where it connects up to larger or
originates from.
you can also put the opencyclemap url into the custom background in iD,
the url is:
http://tile.opencyclemap.org/cycle/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png
Then just switch to it and switch back for mapping.
Cheers

When editing in JOSM I use the OpenCycleMap layer to help determine the
direction a waterway flows (OpenCycleMap has elevation contour lines).
However, I will be hosting a mapathon where the participants will be
using iD. How might one determine flow direction in iD?
