StJ-I-GARMAKII AN— Lat. , Long. ; Elev.
The largest tributary of the Atrak, or rather the name by which that
river is known in its upper course. It drains the plateaux lying north and
east of Kuchan, the western slopes of the Kalat chain, the Kuchan plain,
and the mountains bounding it on the south, an area of about 2,000 square
miles forming the upper part of the drainage basin. Passing south of
Kuchan, it receives the waters of a large spring, known as the Kara Kazan,
the reputed source of the Atrak,—also a small stream from the north of
Shirwan. At 45 to 50 miles from Kala Yusuf Khan, the point at which
it enters the Kuchan plain, it disappears in a narrow gorge, known as the
Tan g-i-Bazabad, and continues to flow thence between high mountains
west-north-west and west for about 40 miles to Mana, a large village, 20
miles north-west from Bujnurd by road, receiving small streams from the
mountains forming the watershed, 15 to 20 miles distant to the south,
and from the north the drainage of the Khushkhana plateau, 30 to 40
miles north-east.
From Mana, about 80 miles to the Chah-i-Atrak, the point of junction
of the Chandfr stream from the north, the Garmakhan or Atrak flows
through a country of low hills and plateaux seamed with ravines. The
spur or ridge of the Atak chain, bounding it to the north, rises high, and is
difficult to cross : that to the south is easy.— (Napier.)
