MAWKMAI (Burmese Maukme)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 918 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MAWKMAI (Burmese Maukme) , one of the largest states in the eastern division of the southern Shan States of Burma. It lies approximately between 19 30' and 20 30' N. and 97 30' and 98 15' E., and has an area of 2,787 sq. m. The central portion of the state consists of a wide plain well watered and under
rice
  cultivation. The rest is chiefly hills in ranges running north and
south
 . There is a good deal of teak in the state, but it has been ruinously worked. The sawbwa now works as con-tractor for government, which takes one-third of the net profits.
Rice
  is the
chief
  crop, but much tobacco of good quality is grown in the Langko
district
  on the Tang river. There is also a
great
  deal of cattle-breeding. The
population
  in 1901 was 29,454, over two-thirds of whom were Shans and the
remainder
  Taungthu, Burmese, Yangsek and Red Karens. The
capital
 , MAWKMAI, stands in a fine rice plain in 20 9' N. and 97 25' E. It had about 150 houses when it first submitted in 1887, but was burnt out by the Red Karens in the following year. It has since recovered. There are very fine orange groves a few miles
south
  of the town at Kantu-awn, called Kadugate by the Burmese.
