were what the U.S. purchased from the French in the Louisiana Purchase. Later the U.S. made treaties (frequently in bad faith) with the Indians to gain their land. Settlers paid around $1.50 an acre for the surveying of these lands and these treaties were the basis for land patents that were issued. The watersheds themselves have never been sold or exchanged to my knowledge.
Ok, back to watersheds. The Louisiana Purchase included the western watershed of the Mississippi (including the headwaters), the Missouri and the Red rivers. Here is a picture of the headwater of the Mississippi

These watersheds throughout the west are still federal zones. The feds have never issued grants of LANDS conforming to these watersheds. Each watershed has a federal number assigned, a HUC number. There are few laws written for these federal zones (I wouldn't advise spilling oil on any of tho).
A watershed is a natural boundary and not subject to jerrymandering. It might change over time with wind erosion or glaciation.
Perhaps it is interesting that we are about to (or already have) entered the age of Aquarius. If you want to determine which watershed you live in pouring out a jug of water and following it's course to the sea might be a place to start.
When Jesus is asked by his disciples where the next Passover will be, Jesus replied:
‘Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water... follow him into the house where he entereth in.’. - Luke 22:10
The man carrying a pitcher of water is Aquarius, the water bearer. He represents the age after Pisces. When the Sun leaves the Age of Pisces, it will go into the House of Aquarius, as Aquarius follows Pisces in the precession of the equinoxes.[7] Apart from the depictions in the Book of Revelation, the main source of this idea comes from this verse, where Jesus says:
I will be with you even to the end of the world.- Matthew 28:20
In the King James Version, "the world" is a mistranslation. The actual word being used is "aeon", which means age. Jesus' Solar Piscean representation will end when the Sun enters the Age of Aquarius.
