Melnikovo

Melnikovo lies in the Shegarka country west of the Ob, in the southern part of the West Siberian Plain. One historical account dates the village to 1782 and associates it with a riverside mill. The district takes its name from the Shegarka, a tributary that flows through forest and low-lying land to the Ob. The plain’s rivers and wetlands stand alongside cultivated ground in the country around the settlement.
