This road follows in part the valley of the Obatogamau River.The surface of the Obatogamau River is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.Table of Contents       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Geography[edit]Toponymy[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]Geography[edit]The main hydrographic slopes near the Obatogamau River are:  The Obatogamau River rises at the mouth of the Obatogamau Lakes (length:19.6 kilometres (12.2\u00a0mi), altitude: 365 metres (1,198\u00a0ft)). This lake is located on the East side of a forest road (North-South direction), West of Lake Verneuil (link through the Verneuil pass) and Lake Royer. Complex in shape, the Obatogamau lakes has about a hundred islands, many bays (the largest of which is Anderson Bay) and peninsulas.

From this mouth, the current flows southwest along the Chibougamau River on 41.4 kilometres (25.7\u00a0mi) to its mouth, which is the confluence with the Opawica River. From there, the current flows generally westward through the Waswanipi River to the East shore of Go\u00e9land Lake (Waswanipi River). The latter is crossed to the Northwest by the Waswanipi River which is a tributary of Matagami Lake.The mouth of the Obatogamau River is located at:Toponymy[edit]This hydronym is indicated on a map of 1941.
