I underlined two words in green. They have obsolete letters that I cannot track down. What are the translations?

The first word is Уездная
(County, district).
The second word is Нарым
. It's a geographic title, no translation.
First word (Уездная) has an obsolete letter "yat" ("ять") in cursive, so it looks different form its typical form (ѣ).
Second word (Нарымъ) has no obsolete letters, although the first letter "Н" is written in uncommon form (maybe someone knows an explanation).
I don't see any obsolete letters in that second one. It's Нарымъ.
Наръ
+ w + жъ
to me, but I confess I am terrible at cursive Russian.
ж
one line upper in an abbreviation ж.д.
It looks much different from cursive м
.
