The Gouault River flows in the municipality of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James (municipality), in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, Quebec, the Canada. The R1027 bridge spans the Gouault River about {{convert|11|km}} south of its confluence with Matagami Lake. From the bridge, this road runs along the west bank of the Gouault River and the Matagami Lake; then it goes further north to reach the territories east of James Bay. The Gouault River flows entirely in forest and marsh areas, southwest of Matagami Lake. The surface of the river is usually frozen from the beginning of December to the end of April. GeographyThe hydrographic slopes near the Gouault River are:
The upper part of the river (upstream of MacIvor Lake) drains a large swamp area between Grasset Lake and Matagami Lake. From its source (crossing of two brook streams), the Gouault River flows over {{convert|18.5|km}} according to the following segments:
The mouth of the Gouault River is located at:
ToponymyIn 1936, the federal topographic map entitled Waswanipi indicated the hydronym "MacIvor River" for this river. The following year, the Geographical Survey of Quebec formalizes this hydronym under "MacIvor River". The MacIvor designation, provided by the geologist Jérôme H. Rémick, evokes the life of a trapper who frequent this region. The name "MacIvor River" would be associated with the name of Mount MacIvor located 3 km southwest of the lake of the same name. The Algonquin, for their part, call the Nedawaka River, meaning the river to fetch what to live. Finally, in 1965, the Quebec Geography Commission officially adopted the "Rivière Gouault" toponym. The term Gouault is a family name of French origin. At that time, it was common to name or rename places in northern Quebec after characters from New France. It is not unreasonable to believe that this hydronym evokes the Jesuit and apothecary brother Gaspard Gouault, who practiced his profession in New France in the 17th century.[3] The toponym "Gouault river" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[4] Notes and references1. ^Atlas of Canada 2. ^River Segments from the Atlas of Canada (published on the Internet) Department of Natural Resources Canada. 3. ^Source: "Names and places of Quebec", book of the Commission de toponymie du Québec, published in 1994 and 1996 in the form of a printed illustrated dictionary, and in the form of a CD-ROM produced by the company Micro-Intel, in 1997, from this dictionary. 4. ^Commission de toponymie du Quebec - Bank of Place Names - Toponym: "Gouault River" See also{{GeoGroup}}
