The city is located on the hilly heights of the Irkutsk-Cheremkhovo Plain, on the small Cheremshanka River, about 20 km west of the Angara River, at an altitude of 550 m above sea level. In the vicinity of Cheremkhovo there are areas of coal mines (mined and active), agricultural and forest lands. Within the city limits you can find waste heaps - traces of former coal mining.

The municipal formation “city of Cheremkhovo” is a small settlement agglomeration, including a central residential area and a dozen separate settlements-microdistricts, formed at various enterprises, mines, quarries and open-pit mines, many of which were subsequently closed. These villages are 4-12 km away from the city center. The villages are mostly one-story with wooden individual buildings and barrack-type houses.

The central part of Cheremkhovo stretches along the Trans-Siberian Railway for almost 12 km, built up with both wooden one-story and stone multi-story comfortable houses. There are several wide beautiful avenues, a spacious station square, a large stadium and a cozy recreation park.

Fossil resources

In the vicinity of the city there is the Cheremkhovo coal deposit, the industrial development of which has been carried out since the end of the 20th century. The coal seams here lie relatively shallow and have been mined only by opencast mining for the last 30 years. Coal mines are moved to new areas as fields are mined. Local coal is of the fatty, long-flame type. Its reserves are estimated at approximately 60-100 million tons, which will allow the current level of coal production not to be reduced for at least 20 years.

North of Cheremkhovo, not far from the already operating open-pit mines, there is the Golovinskoye coal deposit with balance reserves of 190 million tons. The quality of Golovinskoye coal is approximately the same as Cheremkhovo coal. The annual volume of coal production here can reach 3 million tons.

In the vicinity of Cheremkhovo there are also reserves of raw materials suitable for the production of building materials. In particular, 12 and 18 km southeast of the city, the Cheremkhovskoye and Makaryevskoye dolomite deposits are located, respectively (from which rubble stone, crushed stone, building lime, etc. are obtained).

On the northwestern outskirts of the city there is a deposit of brick-ceramic raw materials with balance reserves of more than 1 million tons; it was exploited by a building materials plant.
