Yuktali

Yuktali lies near the meeting of the Nyukzha and Olyokma rivers, where a smaller stream of the same name joins the Nyukzha from the right. Both larger rivers run through the wooded highlands of the Siberian interior; the Olyokma continues northward to the Lena. The name Yuktali is connected with an Evenki word for a spring or stream, a fitting name in this country of branching waterways.
