KtJHSAR PLATEAU— Lat. 37° 15' 0", Long. 55° 50' 0"; Elev. 1,500 '.
A high block of undulating tableland, forming one of the eastern buluks
of the Astarabad province. It is supported at a height of from 1,000 to
1,500 feet above the plain of Gurgan by the southern spurs of the Kuh
Zirkai. The plateau has a length of about 30 miles, with a width of 10 to 12.
It has ample wood and water and a most fertile soil, supporting without
irrigation a population said to number 7,000 families. Its climate and
scenery are magnificent. As a cantonment for any force holding the Gurgan
Atrak plain, either of European or of Persian troops (for, unless natives,
the latter also suffer severely from the climate of Astarabad), no better
spot is to be found in the whole range of the Alburz. Its population,
which perhaps bears a larger ratio to area than that of any other rural
community in Persia, are a fine hardy race, chiefly Jaraili Turks; and they
speak Turkish, as well as Persian. 1 In this subdivision 1,500 armed
men might be collected in a day. The glens leading from the Kuhsar
plateau to the plain occupied by the Goklan Turkumans are inhabited by a
small tribe of Turk or Baluch origin, which, from the natural strength of its
country and the light hold the Persians have on the frontier, is able to
maintain a certain independence. It was found so difficult to control it
from Astarabad, that it was handed over to the Ukhani of Bujnurd, who is
able to reach it, if necessary. It has, however, submitted, and paid the arrears
of tribute due. It numbers 1,000 tents, and has a great reputation for
courage, strength, and expertness with its guns.— [Napier.)
