The map draws the full river. This route covers a section of it; the description says which.
The Restigouche/Kedgwick system is a world-renowned Heritage River offering exceptional wilderness canoeing through stunning Appalachian valleys. With 26 rapids mostly R1-R2 and excellent camping at 29 maintained sites, this route suits all skill levels from beginners to experts. The crystal-clear waters are famous for Atlantic salmon, bald eagles, and pristine wilderness scenery along the Quebec-New Brunswick border. Multi-day expeditions from 3-7 days are possible, with professional outfitters providing full support and the Kedgwick adding exciting Class II whitewater to the experience.
The document describes 26. The map shows 2, because it only places rapids a national survey publishes a coordinate for. The two counts measure different things.

This table publishes no position for any rapid. Where a surveyor's note mentions a kilometre, those are their words quoted as written, and the figure was read off a scanned map: use it to follow their description, not to navigate. Most of these surveys were written in French.
