Verkh-Chebula

Verkh-Chebula lies in the basin of the Chebula River, amid the wooded country north of the Kuznetsk Alatau. The settlement developed from farmsteads established by Cossack families, and by the early nineteenth century it was a village in the Kiyskoye district. The Chebula flows towards the Kiya, a tributary of the Chulym; these rivers connect the hills and forests of southern Siberia with the greater Ob basin.
