''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. ''

the Jayamangali, and a small portion by the Kumadvati, both affluents
of the Penner, which flows near the boundary. The large Mavattur
tank has been formed in the south-east, in a very fertile tract, and is
fed by talpargis or spring-heads near the surface.
