1915

The district is bounded on the north by the Attock and Kohat Districts on the west by the Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan Districts and on the south by the tahsil of Leiah while the Mang Shahpur and Attock Districts adjoin-it on the east. [...] The southern half of the district consisting of the Bhakkar Tahsil is divided into two large natural divisions : (1) the Indus valley or that part of the tract lying betWeen the two high banks of the Indus which is east of the artificial boundary line dividino. [...] The most picturesque spot in the whole district is Kalabagh where the Indus debouches from the hills The hills on either side of the river spreading out like the tail of a scorpion with a large plain in front and with distant hills in the background are delightful to the eye. [...] Getting on the top of the hill on a clean morning after rain one beholds a grand panrama stretching up to the Kashmir hills on the north-east with the Indus flowing out on one side and the Jhelum on the other while the Kobat hills Sheikh Budin and Takht Suleman form the limit of the field of vision on the north-west and west. [...] On the east one can see far into the flat country and get a glimpse even of the Chenab while to the south there is nothing to arrest the eye in the great Thal.' Throughout the upper half of the district the hills at the end of the valley break the monotony of the level plains.
