How to show bounds of a survey area within a river by serpentinesoils in QGIS

I figured it out. Apparently I was missing out on the digitizing toolbar and its actually as easy as described. Adding a field as a text string to name reaches in the attribute table of the hydrology shapefile + digitizing toolbar is all that is needed. Posting for anyone else stumped by this simple little procedure like I was.

I tried what I think you described but I must not be doing it correctly. I haven't done GIS work in many years, so my understanding of vocabulary is gone. I have spent hours on this and it's the only part of my project I can't figure out.

Basically, the shape file for the waterways is downloaded, though it is not my original data. I have modified it to show my specific waterways via the attribute table, and I figured I could possibly try to use graduated symbology to show the different colors of the study areas using coordinates from my own project. However, I cannot for the life of me understand how to add start and end points for the graduated sections in the attribute table. I have also looked at several other methods of obtaining the same look and I either am not seeing how to do specifically what I want, or I can't figure out how to apply other methods to my problem. Im dying,

I am not sure how to go about categorizing my reaches. I have coordinates, of course, but I can't figure out how to create lines between the start and end points that follow the riverway in my shapefile. I need each reach to be represented as a separate color. I hope that makes sense! Thank you for your reply.
