Settlement
About 300 meter the station there was a logging settlement with the same name.[2] In 1945 two residential barracks appeared, a small dining room and a shop. Construction was continuous, the village gradually grew. In 1951–1955, an elementary school and 54 panel houses were constructed. A store, a new canteen, a bakery, a kindergarten, a pigsty were also built. Later on production facilities rose: a power station, a garage with steam heating, a tare shop, a mechanized bottom warehouse, a groove. The doors of a seven-year school and nursery, a club and a large store, four new apartment houses opened hospitably. In 1971, the Shiyes logging camp became part of the Verkhne-Lupinskogo timber industry enterprise and in 1974 it ceased to exist. The last people left the settlement in 2002.[3]
Landfill
In July 2018 two hunters from Urdoma discovered that a huge landfill is under construction nearby, a step that created public outrage in the region due to concerns over pollution and ecological damage.[4]
