The author has compiled an age geomorphological map and a paleogeomorphological map for the Yakut Diamondiferous Province by means of mapping the relief edges in the Eopleistocene, Early-Middle Neopleistocene, and Late Neopleistocene times. Using these maps, the author modelled the paleorelief and paleohydronetwork in the given periods of time. Alteration of hydronetworks should be taken into account in search for diamonds by the mineralogical method.

Keywords: geomorphological and paleogeomorphological maps, paleohydronetwork, diamonds.
