1890s HISTORICAL MAP CHART

Ob (also Obi) is a river in West Siberia, Russia, the country's fourth longest. It is known to the Ostiaks as the As, Yag, Kolta and Yema; to the Samoyedes as the Kolta or Kuay; and to the Siberian Tatars as the Omar or Umar. It is formed 8 mi. southwest of Biysk in Altai Krai, by the confluence of the Biya and the Katun. Both these streams have their origin in the Altai (Sailughem) Mountains, the former issuing from Lake Teletskoye, the latter, 80 mi. long, bursting out of a glacier on Mount Byelukha. The Ob zigzags west and north until it reaches 55° N, where it curves round to the northwest, and again north, wheeling finally eastwards into the Gulf of Ob, a deep (600 mi.) bay of the Kara Sea of the Arctic Ocean. Ket River, also known as the Big Ket River in its upper reaches is a river in the Krasnoyarsk Krai and Tomsk Oblast in Russia, a right tributary of the Ob River. The length of the Ket River is 1621 km. The area of its basin is 94,200 sq km. It freezes up in late October - early November and stays under the ice until late April - early May. Its main tributaries are the Sochur, Orlovka, Lisitsa, Little Ket, Mendel, Yelovaya, and Chachamga.
