''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=Sonar River =

River in the Central Provinces, the centre of the drainage
system of the Vindhyan plateau comprising the Districts of Saugor and
Damoh, with a northward course to the Jumna. It rises in the low
hills in the south-west of Saugor (23° 22' N. and 78° 37' E.), and
flowing in a north-easterly direction through that District and Damoh,
joins the Ken in Bundelkhand, a short distance beyond the boundary
of Damoh. Of its total course of 116 miles, all but the last 4 miles
are within the Central Provinces. The river does not attain to any
great breadth and flows in a deep channel, its bed being usually stony.
It is not navigable and no use is made of its waters for irrigation. The
valley of the Sonar, lying in the south of Saugor and the centre of
Damoh, is composed of fertile black soil formed from the detritus of
volcanic rock. The principal tributaries of the Sonar are the Debar
joining it at Rehli, the Gadheri at Garhakota, the Bewas near Narsingh-
garh, the Kopra near Sitanagar, and the Bearma just beyond the
Damoh border. Rehli, Garhakota, Hatta, and Narsinghgarh are the
most important places situated on its banks. The Indian Midland
Railway (Bina-Katni branch) crosses the river between the stations of
Patharia and Aslana.
