KUSHK

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 955 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KUSHK , a river of Afghanistan, which also gives its name to the
chief
 
town
  in the Afghan province of Badghis, and to a military
post
  on the border of
Russian
 
Turkestan
 . The river Kushk,during a portion of its course, forms the boundary between Afghan and
Russian
  territory; but the
town
  is some 20 M. from the border. Kushk, or Kushkinski
Post
 , is now a fourth-class Russian fortress, on a Russian branch railway from Merv, the
terminus of which is 12 M. to the
south
 , at Chahil Dukteran. It is served by both the Transcaspian and the Orenburg-
Tashkent
 
railways
 . The terminus is only 66 m. from Herat, and in the event of war would become an important
base
  for a Russian advance. Some confusion has arisen through the popular application of the name of Kushk to this terminus, though it is situated neither at the Russian post nor at the old town. (T. H. H.*)
