Geography of Farrukhabad

 Geography of Farrukhabad


Farrukhabad is a really nice place. Ganga river making it more special and beautiful.
Geographically it is situated between Lat. 26° 46' N  &   27° 43' N and Long. 79°  7' E & 80° 2' E. It forms a part of Kanpur division. It is bounded by Badaun & Shahjahanpur on the north, Hardoi on the east, Kannauj  on the south and Etah & Mainpuri on the west. The district is a level plane, varied only by a few gentle undulations and slopes, sometimes abrupt, which lead down to the river valleys. The highest recorded elevation is 167m. above sea level at Mohammadabad and  the lowest 145.69 m. at Mau Rasulpur in the Trans Ganga flats of Tehsil Farrukhabad. The only marked variation of level is between the two divisions, the upland or bangar, which is a continuation of the doab and the low lands or Tarais, cut away from the upland by the erosive action of the rivers.
