<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The hydro25karc file is my favorite
layer for rivers because it has a name field. The main problem
with it however is that the lines seem to be drawn, (in a recent
area I checked), north to south rather than in the direction of
actual flow. So it was a lot of extra work to check the topo map
to find the proper flow direction. <br>

I downloaded the hydro25k layer and looked at it in QGIS. It indeed
looks useful. If you want to send me a private mail with a geo link to
where you are I can see about pulling that one stream out of it into osm
format for you, if that seems daunting to you (quite understandable).
But see this and maybe you can do it yourself:
