river in Russia
The Sartang (Russian: Сартанг; Yakut: Сартаҥ, Sartaŋ) is a river in the Republic of Sakha in Russia. It is the eastern, right source river of the Yana, and is 620 kilometres (390 mi) long, with a drainage basin of 17,800 square kilometres (6,900 mi2).
Course
The river begins in the Verkhoyansk Range at an elevation of 2,295 metres (7,530 ft). From this area, the Sartang heads north along the Barylas, and continues north along the Yana Plateau between the Verkhoyansk Range to the west and the Chersky Range to the east. Around 10 kilometres (6 mi) southwest of Verkhoyansk, the Sartang joins the river Dulgalakh to form the river Yana.
The area around the Sartang consists of taiga.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Sartang (river)” as river in Russia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as river in Russia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1479580. Authority coordinates are 67.463, 133.249. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
