Watering Hole For Nomadic People

Oymyakon was not a village during the 1920s and 30s, just a bunch of reindeer herders who belonged to Yakut ethnicity used to visit the region. The area had a couple of thermal springs which the shepherds used for their herds. Those were the times of nomads, who never stayed at one place but the Soviet government had a plan for the Oymyakon region.
