Soscumica

Soscumica lies beside a broad, angular lake formed by the Nottaway River downstream from Lake Matagami. The lake bends from a north–south reach into an east–west arm, its width varying along the wooded shores. The Nottaway continues northwest from this lake towards Rupert Bay and James Bay. Soscumica may come from a Cree expression describing slippery ground or shores, a name recalling the character of the lakeside terrain.
