It rises in central Russia, just to the west of the Ural Mountains, and wanders rather indiscriminately south until it reaches the western shore of the Caspian Sea, in a wide delta. It is navigable for most of its course; indeed its lazy meanderings through the steppes give it a fall of less than 700 feet over its whole navigable length.
