Yiman

Yiman lies in the country of the Iman River, a major tributary of the Ussuri. The river rises in the Sikhote-Alin and flows west through forested valleys before meeting the Ussuri. Maps of the eighteenth century recorded it as Niman, while Udege communities lived in its basin and followed the streams into the surrounding hunting grounds. The confluence joins the mountain river to the broader waterway leading north toward the Amur.
