The basin of the river is located in the Krasnozyorsky, Bagansky, and Karasuksky districts. Since 1994 there is a 26,880 ha (66,400 acres) Ramsar site in the lower course of the river.[3] Natural monument Stepnaya Catena is located by the right bank of the Baganyonok, 9 km (5.6 mi) northwest of the village of Novy Baganyonok.[4]
Course
editThe Baganyonok belongs to the endorheic Bagan river basin of the southern Baraba Plain, between the Ob and the Irtysh rivers. The sources are in a swamp in Nizhnecheremoshnoye village, to the north of the winding channel of the Karasuk. The river meanders across a flat area dotted with lakes. It flows first in a roughly western direction and about midway along its course it turns and flows northwards. Finally it joins the left bank of the Bagan 129 km (80 mi) from its mouth.[5]
There are a number of villages near the banks of the Baganyonok, such as Nizhnebayanovsky, Kuchugur and Bolshiye Luki, as well as the now disappeared settlement of Novonikolayevka at 53°52′30″N 78°29′22″E / 53.87500°N 78.48944°E.[2]
