A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.

The Kobozha (Russian : Кобожа) is a river in Moshenskoy and Khvoyninsky Districts of Novgorod Oblast and in Chagodoshchensky and Ustyuzhensky Districts of Vologda Oblast in Russia. It is a left tributary of the Mologa River. It is 184 kilometres (114 mi) long, and the area of its basin 2,660 square kilometres (1,030 sq mi).
Russian is an East Slavic language, which is official in the Russian Federation, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, as well as being widely used throughout Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It was the de facto language of the Soviet Union until its dissolution on 25 December 1991. Although nearly three decades have passed since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russian is used in official capacity or in public life in all the post-Soviet nation-states, as well as in Israel and Mongolia.

It is located in the east of the oblast and borders with Khvoyninsky District in the north, Pestovsky District in the east, Lesnoy District of Tver Oblast in the southeast, Udomelsky District of Tver Oblast in the south, and with Borovichsky District in the west. The area of the district is 2,568 square kilometers (992 sq mi). Its administrative center is the rural locality of Moshenskoye. Population: 7,309 (2010 Census); 9,486 ; 10,679 (1989 Census).

The source of the Kobozha is in Lake Velikoye in the eastern part of Moshenskoy District, in the east of the Valday Hills. The river flows in the northern direction, crosses Khvoyninsky District, passing the railway station of Kabozha, and enters Vologda Oblast, where it turns northeast, smoothly turns southeast, and enters Ustyuzhensky District. The mouth of the Kobozha is in the village of Sofrontsevo.
The river basin of the Kobozha comprises the eastern parts of Moshenskoy and Khvoyninsky Districts, as well as the southern part of Chagodoshchensky District and minor areas in Ustyuzhensky District. The areas to the west of the basin belong to the river basin of the Msta and thus to the basins of the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The Kobozha belongs to the basin of the Caspian Sea.
The Msta is a river in Vyshnevolotsky, Udomelsky, and Bologovsky Districts of Tver Oblast and in Borovichsky, Okulovsky, Lyubytinsky, Malovishersky, Krestetsky, and Novgorodsky Districts, as well as in the town of Borovichi of Novgorod Oblast of Russia. It is a tributary of Lake Ilmen. It is 445 kilometres (277 mi) long, and the area of its basin 23,300 square kilometres (9,000 sq mi). The principal tributaries of the Msta are the Berezayka (left), the Uver (right), and the Kholova (left). The town of Borovichi and the urban-type settlement of Lyubytino are located on the banks of the Msta.
The Baltic Sea is a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean, enclosed by Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, northeast Germany, Poland, Russia and the North and Central European Plain.
The Atlantic Ocean is the second largest of the world's oceans, with an area of about 106,460,000 square kilometers. It covers approximately 20 percent of the Earth's surface and about 29 percent of its water surface area. It separates the "Old World" from the "New World".
Until the 1990s, the Kobozha was used for timber rafting. [1]
Timber rafting is a log transportation method in which logs are tied together into rafts and drifted or pulled across a water body or down a river. It is arguably the second cheapest method of transportation of timber, next after log driving. Both methods may be referred to as timber floating.
