This village is situated in a picturesque valley, between the southern slopes of the Teskey Ala-Too and the northern foothills of the Duman and Tegerek mountain ranges. The climate in this area is continental: in the summer months, the temperature ranges from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, while in winter it reaches -20 to -22 degrees. The annual precipitation amounts to 300-350 mm, and the average snow cover usually varies from 10 to 20 cm. It is also worth noting that the area is rich in underground waters.
According to the local elder from the Jambal clan, Asankul Ömüraliyev, before people settled here, most of the territory of the village was covered with "chiem" — tall, tough steppe grass from which mats were made. These thickets were home to many hares, and small hills protruded in various places. Thus, the fields of the village, abundant with chiem and hills, received the name "Dөң-Talaa" (where "dөң" means hill, and "talaa" means field).
The first house in Dөң-Talaa was built in 1931 by Akmataaly Medetov, which was also confirmed by his grandson, Yrysbek Akmataliev moldo.
Additionally, local residents shared information about a canal that runs through Dөң-Talaa:
“This canal starts at the large mosque and flows to an area known as ‘Black Starling.’ In the 1960s, the residents of the villages Dөң-Talaa and Kоңur-Өlöң worked together to dig it for the irrigation of agricultural lands. The work on its creation was carried out using machinery.”
