American side

After passing near the road of Daaquam (Quebec) village that led to the former village of Daaquam (Quebec), Daaquam river crosses the Canada-US border. In the Maine, it flows Eastward to empty into the Northwest Branch Saint John River (as designated in the Maine); this river segment is the continuity to the South of the Northwest Black River (French: "Rivière Noire Nord-Ouest") (as designated in Quebec).^[2] The latter constitutes the outlet of Lake Frontier located in Quebec. The Northwest Branch Saint John River proves to be a major tributary of the St. John River as to its confluence, it has an important rate as the confluence of the Southwest Branch Saint John River whose source comes from Saint-Zacharie in Southern Quebec.
