The upper part of the hydrographic slope of the "North Brock River" is accessible by a forest road from Chibougamau and going up to the North. The lower part is served by some forest roads that come from the south where passes route 113 which connects Lebel-sur-Quévillon to Chibougamau. This road goes south of Opémisca Lake.

The surface of the "Brock North River" is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice movement is generally from mid-November to mid-April.

The "Brock North River" originates at the mouth of a small unidentified lake (length: 1.6 kilometres (0.99 mi), altitude: 459 metres (1,506 ft)) in the Wildlife Reserve Assinica. This source is located on the Northeast side of a mountain whose summit reaches 563 metres (1,847 ft) at:

From its source, the "Brock River North" flows over 93.0 kilometres (57.8 mi) according to the following segments:

Upper Brock River North (segment of 49.0 kilometres (30.4 mi))

Lower Brock River North (segment of 44.0 kilometres (27.3 mi))

The "Brock North River" flows on the North shore of the Brock River (Chibougamau River), upstream of a series of falls and rapids. From there, the current descends towards the South-West by borrowing the Brock River (Chibougamau River). From the mouth of the river, the current flows southwestward through the Chibougamau River, then through Waswanipi River to the East shore of Goéland Lake (Waswanipi River). The latter is crossed to the northwest by the Waswanipi River which is a tributary of Matagami Lake.

Toponymy


This hydronym evokes the memory of Reginald W. Brock, who, at the end of the 1896 geological exploration campaign, was assistant to Dr. Robert Bell of the Geological Survey of Canada, made a rapid geological reconnaissance of the road between the lakes Waswanipi Lake and Mistassini through the Waswanipi River, Chibougamau and Barlow River rivers and the Lake Waskonichi. Reginald W. Brock, Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, provided the work maps and survey instruments for the 1910 Chibougamau Geological Survey (Quebec) expedition.

The toponym "Brock River North" was formalized on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec, at the creation of this commission[3]
