Geography

The main neighboring hydrographic slopes are:

The Fabulet River originates from an unidentified lake (length: 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi); altitude: 218 metres (715 ft)) located at:

  • 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) Southwest of the Nottaway River;
  • 18.7 kilometres (11.6 mi) Southeast of the mouth of the Fabulet River;
  • 27.3 kilometres (17.0 mi) Southeast of the mouth of the Iroquois River (Nottaway River);
  • 78.3 kilometres (48.7 mi) South of the mouth of the Nottaway River;
  • 120 kilometres (75 mi) South of downtown Matagami

From its source in the Township of Desmazures, the Fabulet River flows over 26.9 kilometres (16.7 mi) according to the following segments:

  • 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi) southerly and westward across an unidentified lake (elevation: 214 metres (702 ft) to its mouth;
  • 10.3 kilometres (6.4 mi) northwesterly to the South shore of Fabulet Lake;
  • 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) northwesterly across Lake Fabulet (elevation: 176 metres (577 ft)) on its full length;
  • 5.2 kilometres (3.2 mi) northwesterly, then southwesterly, to a stream (from the Southeast);
  • 7.5 kilometres (4.7 mi) northwesterly by collecting several streams to its mouth.[2]

The Fabulet River flows into a river bend on the eastern shore of the Iroquois River (Nottaway River). This confluence is located at:

  • 8.8 kilometres (5.5 mi) Southeast of the mouth of the Iroquois River (Nottaway River);
  • 60.2 kilometres (37.4 mi) Southeast of the mouth of the Nottaway River (confluence with Rupert Bay);
  • 135 kilometres (84 mi) Northwest of downtown Matagami;
  • 6.0 kilometres (3.7 mi) South of the Nottaway River.

gollark: You would HOPE so.
gollark: My school (not university, I think the equivalent is high school or something elsewhere) is handling it *somewhat* okay, but possibly partly because it would mostly be revision for the (now cancelled) GCSEs anyway at this point.
gollark: Surely at least part of the point of the grades you get from school/whatever is to show that you're actually qualified to do whatever subject it is.
gollark: That sounds like it would basically make the grades for the year meaningless.
gollark: They actually factory-farm alligators to make it.
