In the south-west of the Central part of Russia there is a small subject of the Russian Federation - the Lipetsk region. This is the smallest region in the Central Black Earth economic region of the country. Using a satellite map of the Lipetsk region, you can see that the following areas border the region:
- Ryazan;
- Voronezh;
- Kursk;
- Tambovskaya;
- Tula;
- Orlovskaya.
The region's territories are not very densely populated. This is explained by the fact that in the region a large amount of land is occupied by numerous rivers and reservoirs, most of which belong to the Don basin. The main rivers of the region can be seen on the map of the Lipetsk region by region:
- Voronezh;
- Matyra;
- Beautiful Mecha;
- Standing Cassock;
- Pine.
A number of rivers belong to the Volga basin and are located in the northeastern part of the region. The lands of the region are black earth. Since ancient times, the population living here has been engaged in arable farming and growing agricultural crops.
The formation of the region as a subject of the Russian Federation occurred in the middle of the last century, when several districts around the city of Lipetsk were united. Natural objects, industrial zones, streets, houses and districts on the map of the Lipetsk region can be studied by zooming in and moving around the online service using the mouse.
Lipetsk is a densely populated city in the central Black Earth Region.
Over the past ten years, there has been a significant outflow of the population, but people themselves say that many return here after a long stay in Moscow, where they are looking for decent earnings. Most Lipetsk residents need to move to the capital, with its attractive prospects, to save money to buy a home. Meanwhile, there are many problems with housing and housing and communal services. The list is quite long, but it can be boiled down to a few main difficulties.
In some areas, the population density is so high that utility services simply cannot cope with the maintenance of homes. Lipetsk is located in a climatic zone characterized by a sharp onset of winter. A large number of cars and sudden precipitation often lead to transport collapse. An insufficient number of snow removal equipment cannot provide the desired benefit. Yard cleaning is often completely forgotten.
The wear and tear of the heating mains regularly used by residents forces repair and restoration work to be carried out twice a year. Moreover, sometimes services do not do their job at all, which causes the infrastructure to suffer even more. Throughout the Lipetsk region there are not enough kindergartens and schools. In 2022, local authorities took many actions to correct the problem. So far, this only works in relation to new microdistricts where the construction of corresponding municipal institutions is underway. Electronic child registration plays a useful role, allowing residents to determine the child's position in the queue. There is also compensation, which is 5,000 rubles. — such a payment awaits everyone whose children were unable to get into kindergarten and were forced to continue to wait (valid for children from 3 to 6 years old).
Economy and industry of the Lipetsk region
The economic potential of the region consists of industry and agriculture. The region is located in the black earth zone, so active crop production is carried out here. In total, there are about 300 agricultural enterprises in the region that grow fruits and berries, grain crops, and breed meat and dairy animals.
Using Yandex maps of the Lipetsk region, you can get an idea of the location of industrial zones in the region. The main enterprises are located in Lipetsk and its vicinity. The diversified industrial complex of the region is represented by such areas as:
- metallurgy;
- mechanical engineering;
- electric power industry;
- light;
- food
On the map of the Lipetsk region you can see in detail where the largest enterprises that produce are located:
- granulated sugar;
- refrigerators and freezers;
- black rolled metal;
- juices;
- pasta;
- steel products.
Construction is also a developed industry. In the Lipetsk region, several hundred thousand square meters of housing are built annually by local construction companies, new facilities appear, roads and bridges are built.
Yelets is a small town
Yelets never aspired to become big. This settlement is specially created for tourists, so local authorities are trying to develop the infrastructure. The authorities are undertaking various programs that are designed to regulate tariff rates for:
- gas;
- water;
- electricity supply;
- housing maintenance;
- improvement of housing stock.
The results generally please the townspeople, who receive playgrounds and landscaped courtyards. Moreover, for this they do not have to overpay significantly, since there are still the same well-thought-out tariffs.
There are practically no traffic jams in the city. However, due to the one-way traffic that prevails here, you may encounter slight congestion. The city has a sufficient number of schools and kindergartens, but many of them are paid. Residents of Yelets are employed in trade enterprises. Nowadays, catering establishments often begin to open in the city. Therefore, there is enough work, but finding employment can be difficult.

Gryazi - industrial town
Mechanical engineering has become a city-forming industry for the city of Gryazi. The settlement plays an important role, being a major railway junction connected with Moscow, Rostov, Orel and Volgograd.
The population is provided with work, but has problems with infrastructure. Housing and communal services require serious improvement measures. The city has kindergartens, private schools, and an art gymnasium. The general situation in Gryazi is typical for any regional city that has a relatively good level of improvement. Young people often leave Gryazi to go to millionaires to look for education and work.
Lebedyan is a beautiful small town
The population is constantly declining; since 2011, there has been an outflow of more than 1,000 people. For the city, the authorities came up with an amazing solution considering the extremely small area.
In 1989, construction of the metro began. The initiator was Leonid Mulyarchik. With the support of local municipalities, he began digging a tunnel, which now reaches only 200 meters. However, experts confirmed that the structure is reliable, but now the metro is officially closed and blocked. Its construction continued until 2011. Lebedyan is characterized by a problem with a shortage of medical personnel, which applies to many settlements in Russia. There is a “Health” program here, but its implementation is at a mediocre level.

Dankov is a city with developed industry
For little Dankov, they managed to create many enterprises that provide the local population with work.
There are enough municipal buildings here that provide a comfortable life. But, like any small town, Dankov is faced with an outflow of young people. Despite the presence of a fairly large number of enterprises, many do not even want to do an internship here. The same applies to admission to educational institutions. There are simply not enough of them here, so students go to more densely populated cities to get training facilities.
The city authorities of the Lipetsk region demonstrate good work, which has a positive effect on the infrastructure and standard of living of the population. This is what helps ensure that people who go to work in millionaires still return and start families. This is a striking example confirming the possibility of maintaining the required number for the development of regional cities and their centers.
Districts of the Lipetsk region on the map
The entire territory of the region occupies about 25 thousand km2 and is divided into 18 districts. The largest districts in terms of population and area, which can be viewed using maps of the Lipetsk region with diagrams:
- Gryazinsky;
- Lebedyansky;
- Dobrinsky;
- Lipetsky.
The smallest in area, but densely populated district of the region is Khlevensky. It is located in the south of the region on the border with the Voronezh region. The district includes 16 villages, which, if you zoom in on the map of the Lipetsk region with villages, can be examined in more detail.
Railways and highways pass through the main district of the region - Lipetsk, and domestic air flights are also carried out from the airport, which is located in the suburbs. The direction of highways R-119, R-204, R-205, as well as other highways in the region can be viewed using a detailed road map of the Lipetsk region. It will also help you find the main road junctions, bridges, and bypass roads around cities.
