Ayan Maia Upplands

The Yudoma–Maya Highlands spread between the Aldan basin and the mountainous country toward the Sea of Okhotsk. Rivers have cut valleys into this broad upland, breaking its plateaus into ridges and hills. Larch and pine forest cover the country adjoining the valleys, especially toward the south. The Maya and its tributaries drain these highlands, carrying their waters westward to the Aldan and ultimately the Lena.
