Abstract
The historical and geographical description of the most northern regions of Russia is still a poorly understood topic. The article analyzes historical material concerning the Tazovsky Peninsula (Western Siberia) presented in the cartographic source of the 17thcentury Chorographic drawing book of outstanding cartographer Semen Remezov. The authors reveal the peculiarities of the creation of the entire book as a whole and of the drawing itself, which had direct office sources. Identification of areas of historical events mentioned at the source, was carried out by means of comparing toponymic information in the source with modern data. As a result, it became possible not only to reconstruct the events outlined by the author of the drawing, but also to establish their spatial localization, which make possible detailed historical and archaeological research.
