Marchington River (Ontario)

The Marchington River is a river in the Hudson Bay drainage basin located in Kenora and Thunder Bay Districts in northwestern Ontario, Canada. It travels 78 kilometres (48 mi) from its head at Kashaweogama Lake in Thunder Bay District through a series of lakes to Marchington Lake, where it meets the Sturgeon River and North River. It then continues 30 kilometres (19 mi) over the small McDougall Falls and through Botsford Lake before emptying into the English River at Abram Lake near Sioux Lookout.

gollark: Good point, "Lyricly" macron.
gollark: Oh, right, you don't want it to be backward-sorted either, yes.
gollark: You could probably do "most comparisons come out wrong" versus "furthest out of place" or something.
gollark: Can it do it in O(3) time?
gollark: *Will* Macron do the opposite of sorting?
