Töxtür

Tyokhtyur lies on the left bank of the Lena between Pokrovsk and Yakutsk. Here the great river flows through the central Yakutian lowland, its channels bordered by forest and open meadows. The Lena also formed the line of a long postal route linking Yakutsk with the settlements upstream. A Tyokhtyur station is recorded among the stops established along that route in the eighteenth century.
