Problem Creating A Junction

[wannabeEngr]

I have two streams that I would like to join. I use the move/edit points tool to drag one node on top of the other, and it prompts me to create a junction. So I do. But the junction isn’t where I wanted it to be, it moves all the way to the top of the river, creating a long straight line from one river that crosses over the other to get to its first most upstream point. How do I stop it from doing that?

sounds like your river reach maybe drawn backwards. Reaches are drawn upstream to downstream. If you go under GIS tools and select reach invert line table there is a “reverse order” button

I don’t think that’s the problem because all three reaches have the arrow pointing in the correct direction towards the outlet stream, which is also pointed in the right direction. What else could be causing this?
