Geography

The Ougeotte rises in Ouge, which gives its name to the river. It flows generally east, receiving the Gailley at Chauvirey-le-Vieil, then the Écrevisses stream on the right of the ancient Agneaucourt mill, then joining the Saône at Gevigney-et-Mercey, near Montureux-lès-Baulay.

Nowadays there are no more mills which take power from the Ougeotte, while at the beginning of the 19th century there were many:

• Ouge: le Moulinot
• Chauvirey: le Bouvot, le Maublanc, la Guerelle, le Grand Moulin
• Montigny-lès-Cherlieu: Montigny, Agneaucourt, and on the tributary stream: le Ferry and le Battant
• Noroy
• Bougey: la Perrière
• Gevigney: Vachez, le Moulin Neuf
• Montureux-lès-Baulay

In the 1840s, the Ougeotte was populated by burbot, pike, eel and perch. By 1960, it was fished for trout and crayfish.
