1877 February 1, Robert Michell, “THE RUSSIAN EXPEDITION TO THE ALAI AND PAMIR IN 1876”, in The Geographical Magazine, volume 4, →OCLC, page 49:
After having travelled along the Ala-Baital defile, and followed the course of the Uzbel-Su, the party reached the Uzbel Pass, which separates the basin of the Kara-Kul from that of the Sary-Kol and Tarun-Gol.[...]The late M. Fedchenko disputed the existence of a meridional range on the east side of the Pamir, saying that Hayward had simply taken the abrupt side of the Pamir for a transverse mountain-range. Captain Kostenko, on the other hand, was impressed with its grandeur. It lies about 53 miles from the Uzbel Pass, and beyond it lies Kashghar, 40 miles further.[...]Through lack of provisions, Captain Kostenko was unable to push on to the Sary-Kol and compelled to return by the Uzbel Pass and the little Chon-Su defile. On emerging from thence, one comes upon a point where three roads converge—one to Badakhshan, one to Kokand (over the Kizyl-Yart), and the other to Kash- ghar (over the Uzbel Pass). The main force of the Alai column was rejoined at Archa-bulak, at the southern base of the Alai range. The whole distance marched by Captain Kostenko’s force, from the mouth of the Kizyl-Yart defile to the Uzbel Pass, was 90 miles.
In 1876 Kostenko, from the Uzbel Pass, observed a great peak in this direction, the name of which was given to him as Mustagh Ata, i.e. Father of Ice Mountains.

If we open up the Atlas of the People's Republic of China we will find that the region of the Pamir, the western extremity of Xinjiang, from the Wuzibieli [Uzbel] Pass¹ to the south down to the Kekelaqukaole Peak (which the Soviet Russians call "Pavel Shveikovsky Peak") is designated as a not limited area. However, on the present-day Soviet Russian maps that area is shown as delimited, i.e., provided with a formal state boundary.

After the resolution of the Tajik civil war, China and Tajikistan began to hold talks over disputed sectors. In October 1997, a week of talks at the vice-foreign ministerial level over the territorial dispute achieved “tangible progress” and reached an agreement over the two smaller disputes. The Markansu Valley was divided evenly while China dropped its claim to the Uzbel Pass (map 2.5).
