The process of dividing watersheds into sub-basin, I think it must be in accordance with specific criteria or rules. From our very simple knowledge, I think that the sub-basin is the catchments whose mainstream does not affect the order of the stream where it meets, which means the mainstream of sub-basin has lower order (according to Strahler Stream Order SSO). According to that, we can not consider a sub-basin that connects the mainstream of adjacent sub-basin and both have the same SSO. Please, if there are opinions that enrich the subject or references that can help us answer the question.
I am looking for a map in the resolution of Geological Formations, not according to the age of deposits in the format of shapefile or good resolution image. Thank you in advance.
