Lysychansk is located in the North-Western part of the Luhansk region, 90 km from Lugansk, on the high right bank of the Seversky Donets River. The area is surrounded by large hills, ravines and valleys. The city is interestingly situated on the northern spur of the Donetsk Ridge (Донецкий кряж). This picturesque area was once called "Deer Mountain".
Lysychansk is located in the continental climate of the steppe zone of Ukraine. Water resources stemming from here are one of the most important resources. Sever Donets is the main water artery of the Lysychansk and the whole region. The length of the Sever Donets River within the city is 26.5 km. Belenkaya River, a tributary of the Donets River, flows through the southern part of the city, the length of the river within the city is 7.7 km.
The History of the Donetsk coal basin began in 1700 with the decree by Peter I to search for ore deposits, leading to the development of Lyschansk- "the cradle of Donbas (Донбас)". This type of coal mining lead to "pit heaps"- piles of rocks on the surface in the shape of large pyramids.
The territory of Lysychansk, like other lands in the area, since the Mongol-Tatar invasion until Mid 18th century had not been settled. On the left bank of the Seversky Donets River were the river towns of Borovsky, Trehizbensky and others, settled by educated runaway peasants of 18th century. These communities were suppressed and destroyed during the Bulavin Uprising started by the decree of Peter I. They reappeared only after two or three decades. Not destroyed, but moved to other areas (see map Boplana 1825), was Voronovo (Вороново) (founded by Khokhlova Coassacks), Syrotyne (Сиротино) (Popov and Sirotina Cossacks), Borovenki (Боровеньки) (partly settled by Borovschan after the burning of the settlement Bohr), Metelkina (Метелкино) (Metelnikova Cossacks) and Smolyaninovo (Смоляниново) (Smolkina Cossacks).
