Ust Udoma

Ust-Yudoma lies beside the Maya near the mouth of the Yudoma, its great right-bank tributary. Rising in the Suntar-Khayata mountains, the Yudoma winds through the highlands before joining the Maya here. The united waters continue toward the Aldan and Lena. Far upstream, the Yudoma valley also formed part of the historic route from Yakutsk to the port of Okhotsk, across the mountains toward the Pacific coast.
