It is located in the basin of the Vishera River, between the Uls River and upstream of the Yayva River. Its highland swamps are the source of many rivers and streams. It stretches north–south for about 60 km and is 12 to wide.
The highest point is Mount Vogulsky Kamen at 1066 m.
Etymology
The name of the mountain range is derived from the Mansi word kvar-kush that literally means "naked (unforested) Ural". Perhaps, this name was given because there are no forests at elevations of more than 1000 m and the landscape consists of mountainous tundra and stone deposits. The name of Vogulsky Kamen derives from the name of the Mansi people, formerly called voguly by Russian people.
