Selemde

Selemde lies beside the Selemdzha, the great tributary that drains the forested country east of the Zeya. In its upper reaches the river runs through mountain country; farther downstream it winds towards the northern edge of the Zeya–Bureya plain. The Ogodzha joins it in these wooded hills. From there the Selemdzha continues west to the Zeya, carrying the waters of a vast network of tributaries into the Amur basin.
