Tugur

The Tugur flows north to the deep inlet of the same name on the Sea of Okhotsk. Formed by mountain streams, the river crosses a broad valley before reaching the coast opposite the Shantar Islands. In the seventeenth century Russian expeditions established a post in the Tugur country. The boundary between Russian and Qing spheres remained uncertain after the Treaty of Nerchinsk; Tungusic peoples living along the coast identified the Torom River to the northwest as a dividing line.
