Geography
The American River originates from Lake Perthuis (length: Шаблон:Convert; altitude Шаблон:Convert).[1]
The mouth of this lake is located at:
- Шаблон:Convert northeast of Clair Lake;
- Шаблон:Convert west of the village center of Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne;
- Шаблон:Convert north-west of the confluence of the Jacquot River and Sainte-Anne River.
From the mouth of Lake Perthuis, the course of the Jacquot River flows over Шаблон:Convert with a drop of Шаблон:Convert, according to the following segments:
- Шаблон:Convert towards the north-east notably by crossing a small unidentified and marshy lake (altitude Шаблон:Convert), collecting the outlet of Lac Écarté (coming from the north-west) then meandering by collecting the discharge from Lake Praxède (coming from the north-west), to Le Gros Ruisseau (coming from the North) which drains Lac à Théode;
- Шаблон:Convert in a serpentine southeast to its mouth.[1]
After several streamers at the bottom of a valley between two mountains, including the mountain at Jeannot, the American river flows in a bend on the southwest bank of the Jacquot River at:
- Шаблон:Convert west of a curve of the Sainte-Anne River;
- Шаблон:Convert north-west of the village center of Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne;
- Шаблон:Convert north of the confluence of the Jacquot River and the Sainte-Anne River.
From there, the current descends on Шаблон:Convert generally south and southwest following the course of the Sainte-Anne River, until on the northwest shore of the St. Lawrence River.[1][2]
