Dzhagdy group of mountain ranges. Its ridges have a massive look, with rounded mountaintops. The range runs in a roughly NNE/SSW direction for about , and its northeastern part is deeply dissected by river valleys. To the north the mountain chain connects with the
Ezop Range (Езоп) and to the west and the southwest lies the

Selemdzha River (a tributary of the
Zeya River) to the west, and the
Bureya River (a tributary of the
Amur River) to the east. The
Tashina River and the Selemdzha tributaries
