The Romaine River is a river in the Côte-Nord region of the Canadian province of Quebec. It is long.〔 It is not to be confused with the Olomane River that is to the east and had the same name for a long time. The Romaine River has its source on the boundary between the Atlantic and Saint Lawrence watersheds, and flows first through a series of lakes, including Long, Marc, Brûlé (Burnt), Lavoie, Anderson, and Lozeau. This portion of the river to just past the confluence with Uauahkue Patauan Creek forms the disputed boundary between Quebec and Labrador. Then it flows in a mostly southerly direction until a dozen miles from the coast where it takes a sharp turn to the west, flowing through a series of swampy waterlogged small lakes. The Romaine River drains into the Jacques Cartier Strait, opposite the Mingan Archipelago, that is part of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The name ''Romaine'', in use since the end of the 19th century, is a French adaptation of the Native American term ''Ouraman'' or ''Ulaman'' as noted by Jean-Baptiste-Louis Franquelin in 1685, while Jacques-Nicolas Bellin wrote ''Ramane'' on his map of 1744. It comes from ''unaman'', meaning "vermilion" or "red ochre". Deposits of this material are found on the banks of the Olomane River.〔 ==Tributaries== The significant tributaries of the Romaine River are (in upstream order): * Puyjalon River * * Allard River * South-East Romaine River * Abbé-Huard River * Garneau River * * West Garneau River * Little Romaine River * Touladis River * Sauterelles River * Rivière aux Pêchueurs 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Romaine River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
