Geography

Obluchensky District is located in the northwest region of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast; it is the largest district in the oblast. About 50 km of the Amur River runs along the western border of Obluchensky. The district is dominated by mountain ranges such as the Bureya Range with 1,421 metres (4,662 ft) high Mount Studencheskaya, the highest point of the oblast,[11] and the Lesser Khingan, through which flow the upper and middle reaches of the Bira River. The Bira basin runs west-to-east through the middle of the district, and is relatively narrow. Most of the larger towns of the district are along the Bira. The southeastern area of the district lies on the lowlands and plains of the Amur itself. The district is about 150 km west of the city of Khabarovsk, and the area measures 90 km (north-south) by 190 km (west-east).[2] The Bastak Nature Reserve is located in Obluchensky and Biroidzhansky Districts.[2]

The district is bordered on the north and east by Khabarovsk Krai, on the west by China across the Amur, and on the south by Birobidzhansky District, Leninsky District, and Oktyabrsky District.
