Batiscanie, a vernacular name, of a territory located in the Mauricie region, divided between the RCMs of Les Chenaux, Portneuf and Mékinac, in Quebec, Canada.
The name Batiscanie evokes, without geopositioning it, the territory of the Batiscan River watershed.[1]
On the Batiscan River, log driving is said to have begun around 1852, when the first timber concessions in Batiscania were opened by William Price & Company
