Vaka

Vaka is a tributary of the Iman River in the forested country of the Sikhote-Alin. Its waters run through the western slopes of the mountains before joining the larger river, which continues toward the Ussuri. The valley belongs to a network of streams and wooded ridges stretching across eastern Manchuria. Rivers offered routes through this difficult country and supported fish, while the forests around them were hunting grounds for the peoples of the region.
