60, each marked by a different color identified in the legend at the lower left. In this period, Russia conducted rigorous and extensive explorations of the Far East to create maps, gain knowledge about mineral deposits, and demarcate the border with China. The expedition led by Gennadii Nevelskoi made some of the most important discoveries, including confirming that the Amur was navigable along its entire length and that Sakhalin is an island. In August 1850, Nevelskoi founded Nikolaevskii Post (present-day Nikolaevsk-on-Amur) at the head of the Amur River estuary as an outpost on the Pacific. As depicted on the map, the strait between the mainland and Sakhalin Island was named after Nevelskoi (present-day Strait of Tartary). The Amur is the longest river in the Russian Far East and defines the border between Russia and northeastern China. World Digital Library.
