This article appears in Volume V19, Page 112 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MYITKYINA , the most northerly of the distracts of Upper Burma in the Mandalay division, separated from
Bhamo
 
district
  in 1895. It is cut up into strips by comparatively low parallel ranges of hills running in a general way north and
south
 . The
chief
  plain is that of Myitkyina, covering 600 sq. m. TO the
east
  of the
Irrawaddy
 , which bisects the
district
 , it is low-lying and marshy. To the west it rises to a higher level, and is mostly dry. Except in the hills inhabited by the Kachin tribes there are practically no villages off the line of the
Irrawaddy
 . The Indawgyi lake, a fine stretch of water measuring 16 m. by 6, lies in the
south
 -west of the district. A very small amount of cultivation is carried on, mostly without irrigation. Area, 10,640 sq. m.; estimated
population
  (Igor) 67,399, showing a density of six persons to the square mile. More than half the
total
  are Kachins, who inhabit the hills on both sides of the Irrawaddy. The headquarters town, MYITKYINA, had in 1901 a
population
  of 3618. It is the limit of navigation on the Irrawaddy, and the terminus of the railway from
Rangoon
  and Sagaing.
