Watersheds in Cheltenham Township
A watershed is made up of the land area that drains to a specific body of water, such as a tributary, stream or river. The topography of our local hills and valleys define the watershed boundary (catchment area) and the watershed outlet is the mouth of a pond, river or lake. Cheltenham Township encompasses sections of four watersheds, namely:
- Tookany/Tacony-Frankford
- Jenkintown Creek
- Wissahickon Creek
- Mill Run
