The image of the Yuganskiy Reserve was received on October 5, 2017 from SPOT 7 satellite.

The reserve is located in the southern part of the Sredneobsk lowland. The main elements of the reliefs within the reserve are extensive wetlands and narrow river valleys. Forest land (64%) is fully represented by plantations of natural origin. Non-forest lands make up 36%, mostly they are represented by bogs.

There are many shallow wetland lakes in the reserve. They have a peat bottom, swampy banks and sometimes give rise to small rivers. The largest lakes – Ontyr-Lor, Kutne-Lor and Kuy-Lor – can be seen on the image. In floodplains of rivers there are lakes-oxbows.
