Geography
The Deuxième bras des Iroquois originates from Desmarais Lake (length: Шаблон:Cvt; altitude: Шаблон:Cvt) in Sainte-Hedwidge. This lake has two outlets; the other flowing towards the hydrographic slope of Lac aux Iroquois. The northern mouth of Desmarais Lake is located at:
- Шаблон:Cvt north-west of Lac aux Iroquois which turns out to be the head lake of Rivière aux Iroquois;
- Шаблон:Cvt south-west of the village center of Sainte-Hedwidge;
- Шаблон:Cvt south of the mouth of the Iroquois river.[2]
From the north mouth of Lac Desmarais, the Deuxième bras des Iroquois flows over Шаблон:Cvt with a drop of Шаблон:Cvt, according to the following segments:
- Шаблон:Cvt towards the northwest by collecting the discharge (coming from the south) of lakes Calme and Sacré-Coeur, to the discharge (coming from the east) of lakes Jeannine and Jerry;
- Шаблон:Cvt generally towards the north by crossing two zones of marshes, by collecting the discharge (coming from the west) of two lakes including Lac Chanceux, and by forming a loop towards the northwest to bypass a mountain and collect the outlet (coming from the northwest) from Lac Poélon and Indien, up to the outlet (coming from the southeast) from Lac Rat Musique. Note: At the end of this segment, the course of the river leaves the zec de la Lièvre;
- Шаблон:Cvt towards the northwest by entering the unorganized territory of ac-Ashuapmushuan, passing between two mountains, collecting the discharge (coming from the southwest) of the Lake at Mouche, collecting the discharge (coming from the west) from Lac de la Chute, to a bend in the river;
- Шаблон:Cvt south-east, re-entering Sainte-Hedwidge, up to a bend in the river;
- Шаблон:Cvt first towards the northeast, then towards the north while winding in the second half of the segment, until the outlet (coming from the southwest) of the Lac de la Bonne Femme;
- Шаблон:Cvt towards the north, winding up to its mouth.[2]
The Deuxième bras des Iroquois flows into a bend in the river on the west bank of the Rivière aux Iroquois. This confluence is located at:
- Шаблон:Cvt south-east of the village center of Saint-Félicien;
- Шаблон:Cvt south-west of the village center of Saint-Prime;
- Шаблон:Cvt southwest of downtown Roberval.[2]
From the mouth of the Deuxième bras des Iroquois, the current successively descends the course of the Iroquois river on Шаблон:Cvt, crosses Lake Saint-Jean east on Шаблон:Cvt north-east, take the course of the Saguenay River (via the Petite Décharge) on Шаблон:Cvt east to Tadoussac where it merges with the estuary of Saint Lawrence.[2]
