Findlay Creek

Formed from a series of wetlands, the Castor River drains an area of 739 km2 in the north-west portion of the South Nation Watershed before it flows to the South Nation River. The Castor River was named for the many beavers found in the area.

Findlay Creek flows east from the Leitrim Westland and forms part of the headwaters of the Castor River. These systems, along with the Middle Castor River, form the Upper Castor River subwatershed and eventually flow to the Castor River.

ruisseau Findlay

La rivière Castor, formée d’une série de zones humides, draine une superficie de 739 km2 dans la partie nord-ouest du basin verstant de la Nation Suc, avant de se jeter dans la rivière Nation Sud. La rivière Castor a été nommée ainsi à cause des nombreux castors vivant dans la region.

Le ruisseau Findlay coule vers l’ext à partir de la terre humide d Leitrim et fait partie des eaux d’amont de la rivière Castor. Il s’écoule au sud-est jusqu’à ce qu’il recontre la rivière North Castor. Ces systems, ainsi que la rivière Middle Castor, forment finalement dans la rivière Castor.
