Geography The Kyrganay Range rises above the northern bank of the Maly Anyuy River. To the east the mountain range is limited by the Egilknyveyem River and to the west by the valley of the Maly Keperveyem River, both right hand tributaries of the Maly Anyuy River. To the south, on the other side of the Maly Anyuy, rises the Chuvanay Range. The ghost town of Aliskerovo, beyond which rises the Ilirney Range, lies at the eastern end of the Kyrganay Mountains.Malysheva G.M., Isaeva E.P., Tikhomirov Yu.B., Vyatkin B.V.
