DUBAWNT, or DOOBAUNT (Indian _Toobaung_, i.e. turbid), a river of
Mackenzie and Keewatin districts, Canada. It rises in Wholdaia (or Daly)
Lake, in 104 deg. 20' W. and 60 deg. 15' N., and flows northward to its
confluence with the Thelon river, and thence eastward to Chesterfield
Inlet, an arm of Hudson Bay. It passes through numerous lake-expansions,
including Dubawnt Lake, with an area of 1700 sq. m. and an altitude of
500 ft. above the sea; Aberdeen, altitude 130 ft.; and Baker, 30 ft.
From the head of Wholdaia Lake to the head of Chesterfield Inlet is 750
m. and thence to the west coast of Hudson Bay 125 m. The river is
shallow, and banks and bed are chiefly composed of boulders; grassy
slopes, however, occur at intervals along its banks, especially on the
shores of Dubawnt Lake, and are the feeding grounds of large bands of
cariboo. Discovered in 1770 by Samuel Hearne, the Dubawnt was explored
by J. B. Tyrrell in 1893, and the Thelon by David Hanbury in 1899.
