Geography
Kursky District is located in the center of Kursk Oblast. The terrain is hilly plain; the district lies on the Orel-Kursk plateau of the Central Russian Upland. The main river in the district is the Seym River, which flows east to west through the district, joining the Desna River and eventually the Dnieper River in Ukraine. The district surrounds the city of Kursk, which is the administrative center of Kursky District, but not part of it. The district is 430 km southwest of Moscow. The area measures 40 km (north-south), and 50 km (west-east).[2]
The district is bordered on the north by Zolotukhinsky District, on the east by Shchigrovsky District, on the south by Medvensky District, and on the west by Oktyabrsky District.
