For example, with very few exceptions, all the lakes in the first map have exactly one *out*flow towards the ocean, and you see almost no actual circular waterways. And I believe some of the exceptions (like the one almost smack in the middle of the map) may actually be due to artificial dams, essentially creating a large "island" inside a water reservoir. Once we're dealing with mountaineous regions with fast flowing rivers (rather than a large area of water at the same elevation), those natural occurences become very rare indeed.The second map of Lac St. Jean is a little confusing, but I bet the lake has only one actual natural *out*flow to the ocean. (A lake can - and typically will - have several rivers or brooks flowing *into* it.) Look at the location of Lac St.Jean in the first map (the area labeled "NORTH"): there's two larger rivers flowing into it from the north and west, but there's only one outflow connecting it to the ocean, to the east.</blockquote>
