Yagodnoye village is located on the left bank of the Debin; the R504 Kolyma Highway crosses the river in its middle course and runs on the northern side of the river, roughly parallel to its lower course until it bends northwards near Debin.
The name of the river is based on the Yakut word "daebin" (дьэбин), meaning "rust".
