Katangsky District, Administrative district in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia
The Katangsky District spans 139,043 square kilometers of eastern Siberian territory, featuring the Nizhnyaya Tunguska River and vast pine forests.
The region transformed from Preobrazhensky District into the Evenki National Raion of Katanga in 1930, later becoming Katangsky District before 1940.
The district preserves traditional Evenki heritage, reflected in local place names such as Yerbogachen, which means pine-covered hill in Evenki language.
The administrative center Yerbogachen maintains essential services with an airport, road connections, and public transportation links to neighboring settlements.
The district experiences temperature variations exceeding 100 degrees Celsius between seasons, making it one of the most climatically extreme regions.
