geography

The Blenheim River arises from the confluence of the Palmasonian River and other streams in the area of Lorme Estate ( Dos d'Âne ), directly on the border to Parish St. John at approx. 100  m above sea level . It receives numerous important tributaries and runs in a strongly meandering course to the east. It marks the southern limit of the Paix Bouche and, thanks to its tributaries, has an extensive catchment area. It is about 4.6 km long.

The Blenheim River receives numerous tributaries that are quite significant in themselves. From east to west these are: Camps Elysees River (left, north), Grand Riviére (l, N), Moutine Ravine (right, south), Boulisst River (l, N), Dunkin Ravine (r, S), Beauplan River (r, S) and Bras de Fort River (Batibou River, r, S). In the lower reaches of the river runs partially parallel to the north running White Friars River , a tributary of the Thibaud River .

In the east the catchment areas of the Torité River , Anse du Mé River and others join, while to the west the watershed to the rivers of the west coast, especially the Barry River , Indian River and Picard River .
