To the west of the settlement, the mountains rise to a height of a good 500 m .
Iswestkowy belongs to the Oblastkowy Rajons and is located almost 40 kilometers as the crow flies east of its administrative center Obluchye and 100 kilometers west-northwest of the Oblast capital Birobidzhan . The municipality (Gorodskoje posselenije) Izwestkowy also includes the five surrounding villages Abramowka (5 km west), Dwuretschje (3 km south-east), Kimkan (10 km west), Rudnoe (6 km north) and Snarsk (3 km west).
history
The place was created in 1913 in connection with the construction of the Amur Railway from Kuenga to Khabarovsk, the last section of the Trans-Siberian Railway on the territory of the Russian Empire , when the construction of a station began there. The section went into operation in 1915. The station and the associated settlement were named after the limestone rocks that emerged in the area (Russian iswest for lime ). In 1948 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.

Economy and Infrastructure
The Izwestkowaja station of the Trans-Siberian Railway is located in Izwestkowy (route km 8234 from Moscow ). There, a 356-kilometer cross-connection branches off to Novy Urgal on the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) and on to the Tschegdomyn mining center . The location on the railway lines is the most important economic factor.
To the south, the M 58 Amur road from Chita to Khabarovsk bypasses the settlement , part of the transcontinental road connection.
