городское поселение Усть-Мая

Ust-Maya sits at the confluence of the Maya and Aldan rivers in Russia’s Sakha Republic, where two major waterways meet amid the taiga of eastern Siberia. This urban-type settlement is the administrative centre of Ust-Maysky District, a vast and sparsely populated part of the republic. Established in 1930 during the Soviet-era development of the area, it remains connected to a region associated with mineral extraction and river transport. The Maya approaches from the mountainous country near the Khabarovsk Krai border before joining the Aldan, one of the Lena’s principal tributaries. Summer navigation and intensely continental winters shape life in this remote inland setting.
