The map draws the full river. This route covers a section of it; the description says which.
The Tomifobia flows along the 19km Nature Trail from Ayer's Cliff to the Vermont border, featuring gentle rapids (R1-R3) with occasional cascades. This international waterway offers excellent wildlife viewing including endangered wood turtles and bald eagles, flowing through diverse wetlands and forests. The adjacent rail-trail provides backup hiking options, while the clear waters support excellent fishing for trout and salmon. No established camping makes this ideal for day trips.
The document describes 10. 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.
