Administrative-territorial division of the Smolensk region

an administrative unit within the Russian Empire and the RSFSR that existed until 1929. Provincial city - Smolensk.

It bordered from the north and northeast with the Tver province, from the east - Moscow and Kaluga, from the southeast - Oryol, from the south - Chernigov, from the west - Mogilev, from the northwest - Vitebsk and Pskov; was between 53°5′ and 56°36′ N. w. and between 30°9′ and 30°85′ E. The greatest extent of the province from north to south is 340 versts, from east to west - 280 versts.

Lip area.

, according to Strelbitsky’s calculations, amounted to 49,212 versts² (according to the general survey 46,746 versts²), including 56,956 dessiatines under rivers and lakes and 303,752 dessiatines under swamps. Forming part of the Central Russian Upland, heading from the north-west of the province from the Valdai, or Alaun, flat upland to the south into the Oryol and Mogilev provinces, the north of the province occupies its southern and eastern slopes, and therefore the most elevated part of the province is located in the northern counties - Belsky and Sychevsky, where at the sources of the Osuga and Luchesa rivers the heights reach 1010 feet above sea level, while the lowest areas lie in the south of the province in Krasninsky, Roslavl and Elninsky districts, and their height reaches only 756 feet at Zabolotye, 735 feet at Tolbino and 707 feet at Khotysin. The eastern part of the province is flat, treeless, while the western part is crossed in different directions by undulating flat chains of hills that accompany the flow of rivers and in places form steep slopes into their valleys; these chains of hills also serve as a watershed for the tributaries of the Dvina and Dnieper and separate the tributaries of the latter in the south from the tributaries of the Oka, Desny and Sozh, and in the north from the tributaries of the Volga; in the east they, going from Gzhatsk to Yukhnov, form the outskirts of the Moscow Basin. The entire Belsky district, with the adjacent parts of Porechsky and Dukhovshchinsky, is deepened in the middle, as a result of which the waters, not having free flow, formed huge swamps and many lakes here. The relief features of the north of the province are caused mainly by the alluvial action of the Ice Age, which deposited the material unevenly transported by it, and by the erosion of water - which is why sometimes places lying to the north have a lower altitude than places lying to the south; so the city of Vyazma lies at an altitude of 833 feet, the city of Roslavl - 857 feet, and Cheluty, in Elninsky district - 880 feet.
