Шаблон:Infobox river The Chiskal River is a tributary of the Bouleau River, flowing in the unorganized territory of Nipissis River, in the Sept-Rivières Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Côte-Nord, in the province of Quebec, Canada.
Geography
The course of the Chiskal river generally descends towards the south-east, between the Petite rivière au Bouleau (located on the west side) and the rivière au Bouleau (located on the east side).
The Chiskal River takes its source from an unidentified lake (length: Шаблон:Cvt; altitude: Шаблон:Cvt), in the unorganized territory of Rivière-Nipissis. This lake is mainly fed by the Chasse stream, the Lièvre stream and the Castor stream. The mouth of the head lake is located at the bottom of a narrow bay to the south-east of the lake, either at:
- Шаблон:Cvt south of the boundary between Labrador and Quebec;
- Шаблон:Cvt east of a bay in Lake Nipisso;
- Шаблон:Cvt northwest of the mouth of the Chiskal River;
- Шаблон:Cvt northeast of downtown Sept-Îles.
From the head lake, the course of the Chiskal river descends on Шаблон:Cvt, with a drop of Шаблон:Cvt, according to the following segments:
Upper course of the Chiskal river (segment of Шаблон:Cvt)
- Шаблон:Cvt towards the south almost in a straight line, crossing 3 small lakes, then curving towards the south-east, until a bend in the river corresponding to the Zéphirin stream (coming from the east) and Chisholm Creek (coming from the north);
- Шаблон:Cvt towards the south in an increasingly deep valley, curving towards the south-east at the end of the segment, until the discharge (coming from the north-west) of a set lakes;
Lower course of the Chiskal river (segment of Шаблон:Cvt)
- Шаблон:Cvt towards the east at the foot of a long mountain cliff (located on the south side) and forming a hook towards the south-east, until a bend in the river;
- Шаблон:Cvt towards the south-east in a widened valley, forming several coils, and collecting the discharge (coming from the south-west) of the rivière à Dupuis, until its mouth.[1]
The Chiskal River flows into a bend on the west bank of the Birch River. This confluence is located at:
- Шаблон:Cvt south-west of the center of the village of Havre-Saint-Pierre;
- Шаблон:Cvt west of the center of the village of Rivière-au-Tonnerre;
- Шаблон:Cvt northeast of downtown Sept-Îles.[1]
From the confluence of the Chiskal river, the current descends the course of the Bouleau river on Шаблон:Cvt towards the south, to the north shore of the estuary of Saint Lawrence.[1]
