A village in the Haiat Baud district of Ears, 5 miles south-east of Bandar
Rig. The salt stream, called Rudkhaneh-i-Shur, passes the village on the
east and south on its way to the sea. The village contains 15 huts, inhabited
by Lurs from Behbehan, who cultivate on a small scale and own about
100 camels and 30 donkeys. They also send some wool to the Bushire
market. Wells are reported here.—(Pe%;
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
Gazetteer, 1908.)
KUHASH— Lat. Long. Elev.
A village in Ears, 22 miles west-north-west of Darab, and 2 miles from
Madavan on the road to Shiraz.
KtlH BAHRAM SHAH— Lat. Long. Elev.
A range of rocky hills, with a lower range of gravelly hills, 500 feet high,
at its foot, bounding the south side of the valley of Riz in Ears.— (Butcher
1888.)
KUH BALA SIA— Lat. Long. Elev.
A peak of the Kuh Zalami range, two miles north of Asir, in the south"
east of Ears.— (Butcher, 1888.)
KUH BEHBEHAN— Lat. 30° 29' 10"; Long. 50° 54' 30"; Elev. 10,400'.
A great mountain mass, of irregular outline, lying in an east and west
direction ; the highest part is 10,400 feet high, and in very clear weather
can be seen 125 miles, i.e., from the bar of the Basrah river. The summit
is 6| miles north-east by east from Dilam, and has snow on it for 6 months
in the year.— (Constable — Stiffe—Persian Gulf Pilot.)
KUH CHIREH ZAVIL—
A range of hills in Kirmanshah bounding the Ivan valley to the south.
The range to the south-east becomes a knife-like ridge which runs for 6 miles
till it joins the Manisht Kuh. The top of the ridge is indented like a saw,
and it is through the most western of these that the Gardaneh Runu passes.
West of the Gardaneh the range rises steeply from the Ivan valley to its
north and on the south side, and terminates abruptly in cliffs several hundred
feet in height, below which are steep slopes well-wooded and terminating in
the Chavar valley. The northern slope, which is well-wooded, contains
numerous broad and deep ravines of short length. These are thickly
wooded. The strata, like those of most of the other ranges in this part of
Persia, are upheaved towards the south-west, pointing in that direction at
angles between 20° and 60°.— (Vaughan.)
KUH DASHT or KIASHT— Lat. Long. Elev. 3,850'.
A broad plain in the Pish Kuh district of Luristan, on the western edge
of which flows the Madian river. The plain stretches some 8 miles in all
directions, and is bounded on all sides by hills. The road from Khurrama-
bad to Deh Bala crosses it to the bridge over the Madian Rud, at its south
west corner. The elevation is not sufficient to make it a good pasture ground
in the summer, and it holds water only in the Madian streams and on the
edges below the mountains, where only are Lur camps. In spring and
winter it is more thickly inhabited. The plain lies within the territory
of the Amrai Lurs. The Madian Rud rises in this plain.— (Burton, 1987.)
