Khuria, 1908

Plateau in the Jashpur State, Central Provinces, occupying the north-western portion of the State, and lying between 23 o' and 2 3 degree 1 4' N. and 83degree 30 and 83 degree 44' E. It consists of trap-rock topped with volcanic laterite, overlying the granite and gneiss which form the surface rocks at lower elevations. The plateau affords excellent pasturage, and Ahirs or cowherds from Mirzapur and elsewhere drive in large herds of cattle to graze ; many such Ahirs have settled here permanently.

Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value.
