I'd have thought that this was a standard way of describing the position of cities. I've been doing research into the cities on the Volga and they are described as left bank or right bank.

So, if you are heading downstream, left bank is on the left and right bank is on the right. I would assume.

Maybe there's a more mystical, draconic explanation, but I doubt it. There are sometimes mundane reasons for things, you know :-)
