Ket

The Ket flows west through the forests and wetlands of the West Siberian Plain to join the Ob. Its upper reaches approach the Yenisei basin, and the Makovsky portage linked the river with Yeniseisk across the intervening forest. In the seventeenth century travellers and cargoes passed up the Ket to Makovskoye before crossing the divide. The long, winding waterway formed part of the route by which people and supplies reached eastern Siberia.
