Kach Gandava is driven, like a wedge, into the frontier mountain system and extends for 150 miles fromJacobabadtoSibi,with nearly as great a breadth at its base on theSindhfrontier. The soil is fertile wherever it can be irrigated by the floods brought down from the surrounding hills; but much of the central portion is sandy waste. It is traversed by theNorth-Western railway.[2]
