FRENCH RIVER DRAINAGE SYSTEM French River is the overflow from Lake Nipissing into Georgian Bay. It is about 40 miles long, and has a total fall of about 65 feet. It combines the waters of three other rivers—Wanapitei, Murdock, and Pick‐erel—in one great east-west watercourse, known in different portions as Ox Bay, Wanapitei Bay, and French River. The combined waters turn abruptly south and southeastward to discharge through a complicated arrangement of distributary channels, obstructed by falls and rapids. RELIEF FEATURES MAJOR FEATURES The region through which these rivers flow has a nearly featureless surface, slightly tilted upward toward the north and the east.

This continues for about 60 . . .
