Location

District Jhelum is situated in the North-East of Punjab; Jhelum spreads on both sides of the Grand Trunk Road. It is bound in the North by Rawalpindi, in the South by Mandi Baha-ud-Din, Gujrat and Sargodha and in the East by Azad Jammu and Kashmir and in the West by Chakwal & Khushab from which it is separated by the mountain range called the Kohistan-e-Namak.

The river passes through the Eastern and Southern Parts of the district. The soil adjoining the river is generally plain, alluvial and quite fertile. This area is generally cultivable and produces all types of crops. In the North, however, most of the upland is rough and broken. The land here is mostly fertile but Barani Mountains of the Salt Range with interspersed plateaus cover much of it. The Western edge of tehsil PD Khan is both exceedingly rough and difficult in approach making this area relatively in accessible.
