Pucheveyem

The Pucheveyem rises in the Chukchi highlands and flows north into the southern part of Chaun Bay. Its headwaters lie close to those of the Maly Anyuy, across the divide between rivers leading to the Arctic coast and the Kolyma basin. One interpretation identifies it with the river called Pogicha in early Russian accounts, whose location was described by a Chukchi woman named Kaliba. Salmon and other fish enter its waters.
