Chitaq River

The Chitaq River is the smallest of the three rivers that converge in the parish of Rivers. The river flows from the northwest and splits the city into two. The river is very small (twenty feet across) and flows directly under the Power's Chapel. For this reason, the Chitaq River is considered by some to be holy.

The Citaq River is a bastardization of Chautauqua and is named after Chautauqua, Illinois.
