Course of the Maja

The Maja ( Russian Мая ; also Майя / Maija ) is a 1053 km long, right or eastern tributary of the Aldan in the Far East Federal District ( Russia , Asia ). It runs through the Khabarovsk region and the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) .

The river arises in the northern part of the Judoma-Maja highlands from the short source rivers Left Maja ( Lewaja Maja ; with about 30 km the longer one) and Right Maja ( Prawaja Maja ). It initially flows through the highlands west of the Jugdschur Mountains in a predominantly south-westerly direction and bends to the north-west below Nelkan . Later it runs northwards from Aim and crosses the border with Sakha (Yakutia). Finally, the Maja flows into the Aldan, the largest tributary of the Lena, at Ust-Maja .

The catchment area of the Maja covers 171,000 km². The frozen from late October to May River is about 500 km long from its mouth upriver navigable . One of its largest tributaries is the Judoma .
