Here is my first attempt to map Titan's channels.
It's part from T44 SAR image (I think southern Xanadu is on the image).
It's not final version. Some channels are not interconnected and some channels are not marked at all.
Especially I have problems with dark/bright channels connections. Some bright channels evidently turns to dark channels and dark channels turns to bright channels.
I think that this is caused partially by topography (canyons ?) and partially by different bed (bright - ice pebbles, dark - organic mud ?).
My next problem is prominent topography which masks some channels.
Marked features:
Dark channels - light blue line
Bright channels - green line
Uncertain channels (dark/bright) - dotted line (light blue/green)
Circular objects - dark blue line

Image has reduced size to 50%.

Try Jason's page:
http://pirlwww.lpl.arizona.edu/~perry/RADAR/#T44

This swath is approximately at center on Jason's map (It's middle of three long dark swaths).
Image is east part from this swath.
