Vast Siberian Territory Lacks Roads Yet Holds Future Industry
The region, ten times Germany in size, had about 9 million people in 1925 with 7 million on land and under 1 million in cities. It has less than 4000 miles of rail, poor highways, and the Main Trail remains ungraded. Peasants and officials use fields and motor cars. The area splits into a northern timber belt and a southeast industrial future near Mongolia, watered by the Ob and Yenisei rivers.
