A village in the Kalat-i-Nadiri district of north-eastern Khorasan, 11
miles from Kalau and 2o from Bavard. It is watered by a stream, tho
Archangan. It has a population of some 70 families of Kurds and Turks,

ARCHANGAN (No. 2) or AB-I-ARCHANGAN (Stream)—
A stream in north-eastern Khorasan, which has its source to the west
of Kalat-i-Nadiri. It is formed by two streams, the Charam Su and the
Sanai Su, each of which flows through the village of the same name.
After the junction of these two streams it is known as the Archangan and
flows north-west through the village of that name, and thence north, crossing
the Russo-Persian frontier 1 mile beyond the village.
The Charam and Sanai valleys are very rocky in their upper portions,
but lower down lose their rocky character and are bounded by low hills',
destitute of trees. The Archangan valley is very much of a similar type.
The road from Kakhka to Meshed Bardeh runs up the Archangan and
Charam valleys.
At the village of the same name the Archangan receives the tributary
Igdallq, with more than twice its volume of w&tei—(Oranofsky, 1892.)
