The Baky is a left [[tributary]] of the Yana. It has its sources in the [[Khayrdakh Ridge]] (Хайырдахский кряж), part of the [[Kular Range]] of the [[Verkhoyansk Range|Verkhoyansk]] system. The river flows first northeastwards and then roughly in an eastern direction. It [[meander]]s within a wide valley in its lower course. [[Osokhtokh]] village is located by the banks of the river in its last stretch. Finally the Baky joins the left bank of the Yana {{convert|479|km|mi|abbr=on}} from its mouth.<ref name="STM">{{cite web|url=https://maps.vlasenko.net/smtm1000/r-53_54.jpg|title=R-53_54 Topographic Chart (in Russian)|access-date=18 May 2022}}</ref><ref name="GЕ">[[Google Earth]]</ref>
