Summary

• This 1903 atlas is based on the results of a survey expedition in 1902 to the region north of Lake Baikal between the town of Bodaybo on the Vitim River and the village of Nirundukan on the Upper Angara River. The survey was conducted by the Hydrographic Exploration of Lake Baikal, which was under the command of Colonel Fyodor Drizhenko and included a research team led by Captain Ivanov and Lieutenant Belkin. The early 1900s was a period of modernization and development in the remote reaches of the Russian Empire, epitomized by the construction of the last segments of the Trans-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.
