Country           

         
       As it can be understood from our resources, the Kimek country covered the vast steppe lands within the Western Siberian savanna.The central tributary of the Irtish River constituted the main centre of the country. While the population of the tribes in the union increased, the borders started to expand in the same proportion. We can find some information that determines the borders of this Turkish country within the petty records of the Islamic geographers.

 

       The geographer, Muhammed el-Mukaddesî states that the Southwestern border of this country passed near the districts of Saban and Saglcan in the basin of Seyhun River in the century X. Of these districts, Savran was a district that looked out over Oguz (Guz) and Kimek countries. Saglcan was a big and rich town that was surrounded with city walls and located in the border of Kimek country. According to the records of Ibn Havkal, it has been supposed that this border extended towards the spring of Ak- Idyll River in the West.
