CHINDWIN, UPPER

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 232 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHINDWIN, UPPER and LOWER, two districts in the Sagaing division of Upper Burma. Upper Chindwin has an area of 19,062 sq. m., and a
population
 , according to the
census
  of 1901, of 154,551. Lower Chindwin has an area of 3480 sq. m., and a
population
  of 276,383. Upper Chindwin lies to the north of the lower
district
 , and is bounded on the N. by the Chin, Naga and Kachin hills; on the E. they are bounded by the Myitkyina, Katha and Shwebo districts; Lower Chindwin is bounded on the S. by the Pakbkku and Sagaing districts; and both districts are bounded on the W. by the Chin hills, and by Pakbkku on the southern stretch. The western portion of both districts is hilly, and the greater
part
  of Upper Chindwin is of the same character. Both have valuable teak forests. The
total
  rainfall averages in Lower Chindwin 27 and in Upper Chindwin 6o in. Coal exists in extensive fields, but these are not very accessible.
Rice
  forms the
great
  crop, but a certain amount of til-seed and of indigo is also cultivated. Kindat, a mere
village
 , is the head-quarters of the upper
district
 , and Monywa, with a population of 7869, of the lower. Both are on the Chindwin river, and are served by the steamers of the
Irrawaddy
  Flotilla Company. Albn, close to Monywa, and formerly the headquarters, is the terminus of the railway from Sagaing westwards, which was opened in 1900.
