Simple methods are described for calculating the magnitudes and lengths of all links in a stream network and their topologic and geometric distances from the outlet, starting from the binary topologic string and digitized junction and source coordinates. By processing the complete network in reverse maze order, successive stages of the analysis yield the properties of all subnets.
