Английская Википедия:Bras de l'Enfer (rivière à Mars)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox river The Bras de l'Enfer is a tributary of the rivière à Mars, flowing in the unorganized territory of Lac-Ministuk, in the Le Fjord-du-Saguenay Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, in the province of Quebec, in Canada. The upper part of the course of the "Bras de l'Enfer" crosses the northern part of the Laurentides Wildlife Reserve.
A few other secondary forest roads serve the Bras de l'Enfer valley, mainly for forestry and recreational tourism activities.[1]
Forestry is the main economic activity in this valley; recreational tourism, second.
The surface of the Bras de l'Enfer is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of March, however the safe circulation on the ice is generally made from mid-December to mid-March.
Geography
The Bras de l'Enfer rises at the mouth of Lake Trema (length: Шаблон:Convert; altitude: Шаблон:Convert). This source is located at:
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of "Lac du Moulin" which is the head lake of rivière du Moulin;
- Шаблон:Convert west of the course of the rivière à Mars;
- Шаблон:Convert south of the confluence of the Arm of Hell and the rivière à Mars;
- Шаблон:Convert northwest of Lac Marchand;
- Шаблон:Convert south-west of Lake Ha! Ha!.[2]
From its source, the Bras de l'Enfer flows over Шаблон:Convert with a drop of Шаблон:Convert entirely in forest and mountainous zones, according to the following segments:
- Шаблон:Convert to the west, in particular by crossing Gilson lake (length: Шаблон:Convert; altitude: Шаблон:Convert) and Villeneuve lake (length: Шаблон:Convert; altitude: Шаблон:Convert), the south-eastern part of which is surrounded by marshes, to the mouth of the latter;
- Шаблон:Convert towards the north-west, crossing lac de l'Enfer (length: Шаблон:Convert; altitude: Шаблон:Convert), to its mouth;
- Шаблон:Convert north-east to a bend in the river, then branching north-east to the outlet (coming from the south-east) of Lake Georges;
- Шаблон:Convert towards the north-east by leveling Шаблон:Convert and bypassing by the northeast a mountain whose summit reaches Шаблон:Convert, to a mountain stream (coming from the south);
- Шаблон:Convert northwards, making a difference in level from Шаблон:Convert, to a stream (coming from the west);
- Шаблон:Convert towards the south-east by forming a curve towards the north, followed by a curve towards the south, until its mouth.[2]
The Bras de l'Enfer pours down on the east bank of the rivière à Mars. This confluence is located at:
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of Lake Georges;
- Шаблон:Convert north-east of a curve in the course of the rivière du Moulin;
- Шаблон:Convert west of the course of the Rivière à Pierre;
- Шаблон:Convert west of a mountain peak (altitude: Шаблон:Convert);
- Шаблон:Convert south of the confluence of the rivière à Mars and Baie des Ha! Ha!.[2]
From the confluence of the Bras de l'Enfer with the rivière à Mars, the current follows the course of the rivière à Mars on Шаблон:Convert generally towards the north, crosses the Baie des Ha! Ha! on Шаблон:Convert northeast, then the course of the Saguenay River on Шаблон:Convert east to Tadoussac where it merges with the Saint Lawrence Estuary.[2]
