Geography

The main neighboring watersheds of the Moulin river are ː

• north side: Alick River, Dominique stream;
• east side: rivière des Cèdres, Noire North-West River;
• south side: Gabriel River;
• west side: rivière du Pin.[1]

The river of the Moulin takes its source from a small lake on the northern slope of a mountain of Notre Dame Mountains, in the fifth rang, north of the village of Saint-Paul-de-Montminy. This source is located on the east side of route 283 and 6.0 kilometres (3.7 mi) east of the center of the village of Saint-Paul-de-Montminy.[1]

From its source, the Moulin river "flows over 13.6 kilometres (8.5 mi) according to the following segments:

• 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) north, then west, to the fifth rang road;
• 3.0 kilometres (1.9 mi) west, to Highway 283 South;
• 2.8 kilometres (1.7 mi) north-west, crossing route 216 and along 2e rang road (on the west side), to the path of third rang;
• 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) north-west, up to the 1er rang road;
• 2.4 kilometres (1.5 mi), up to its confluence which also constitutes the confluence of the Dominique stream. These two confluences form the source of the Alick River.[1]

The confluence of the Moulin River "is located almost at the limit of the municipalities of Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire and Saint-Paul-de-Montminy. This confluence is located at 7.3 kilometres (4.5 mi) south of the center of the village of Notre-Dame-du-Rosaire, at 5.3 kilometres (3.3 mi) east of the village of Sainte-Euphémie-sur-Rivière-du-Sud and 7.1 kilometres (4.4 mi) north of the center of the village of Saint-Paul-de-Montminy.[1]
