Old map of Bodaybo, Irkutsk Oblast, Russian Federation.

Siberian Railway just south of this area. The volume begins with a summation of the results of the expedition, with particular regard to the construction of new transport and communication lines. It includes a detailed description of the landscape between the towns of Bodaybo and Nirundukan. It contains information on municipalities along the way as well as on the native communities, but focuses primarily on the physical features of the landscape, such as rivers, hills, forests and mountains. The narrative presents the standard findings of an engineering survey party, albeit one grappling with the rugged terrain of Eastern Siberia. Included are precise observations of river flow rates and data on the elevation of highlands and lowlands, along with notations on latitude and longitude at various points in the expedition. The plates at the back of the volume are map sections from the route, corresponding to the text, which highlight topographical features with shading and hachures as well as natural obstructions along the way.
