Nizhnyaya Toyma

The Lower Toyma rises on the watershed between the Pinega and Northern Dvina and flows westward through the northern forests to join the Dvina from the right. A group of riverside villages at its mouth shares the name of the river. Together with the Upper Toyma farther upstream, the Lower Toyma gave its name to a district of the Dvina lands, whose waterways linked the forest settlements to the great river flowing north towards the White Sea.
