The Petite rivière Noire (in English: Little Black River) is a tributary of the Saint-François River. It flows north-west through the municipalities of Saint-Bonaventure and Saint-Pie-de-Guire, in the regional county municipality (MRC) of Drummond Regional County Municipality, in the administrative region of Centre-du-Québec, on the South Shore of the Saint Lawrence River, in Quebec, Canada.
The main neighboring hydrographic slopes of the "Little Black River" are:
The Little Black River has its source in a small forest area east of the village of Saint-Bonaventure, at southeast of rue Principale, at southwest of the Saint-François River and northwest of the city of Drummondville. This headland is located in the "Grantham-Ouest" sector, north of highway 20 and west of the town of Drummondville.
From its source, the river flows on towards the northwest until the confluence of the Georges-Lemaire stream; on north to its mouth.[1]
The "Petite Rivière Noire" flows on the west bank of the Saint-François River in a zone of rapids, downstream from "Le Trou-d'Abraham" and upstream from "Rapides au Bélier".[1]
The toponym "Petite rivière Noire" was officially registered on December 5, 1968, at the Commission de toponymie du Québec.[2]
