[...] The BÄLESHVAR Range the second great spur of the Sahyadris which branches off at Ratangad seven miles south-east of Kulang completely traverses the Akola and Sangamner sub-divisions forming on the north the valley of the Pravara and on the south the valley of the Mula. [...] Near the village of Jamgaon on the Nagar side of the plateau a flat ridge shoots to the north-east ; this though of no great height and in many places hardly distinguishable from the country round forms the water-shed line between the tributaries of the Godavari and those of the Bhima. [...] On the north side the range presents an abrupt front towards the lowlying plains of Itrihuri and Nevasa in the valley of the Godavari ; on the south side the country has a mean elevation of 2200 feet with a slope towards the south-east indicated by the direction of the Sina river. [...] The BHIMA river drains the whole of the southern portion of the district comprising the greater part of the Parner and Nagar sudivisions the whole of Shrigonda and Karjat and nearly the whole of Jamkhed.
