KUH-KUH
KOH-I-MIHRABlD—
A part of the great Binalud range, so named from the village Mihrabad
at its foot. It attains an elevation of 9,000 to 10,000 feet, a few miles
north of Nishapfir.
Also called Mirabad Kuh. Napier calls it the Binalud Kuh.— [Schindler.)
KUH-I-MINAU—
A hill in the Kai l district of Khorasan bearing 35° from Yazdan, distant
about 25 miles.— [MacGregor.)
KUH-I-MISH—
A lofty range of hills in Khorasan, bounding the plain and district of
Sabzawar to the south and west, and separating them from the great salt
desert. There are borax mines here.— [Rozario ; Bellew ; MacGregor ;
Napier.)
KUH-I-MUGHAN—
The hills to the north of the road between Shahrud and Deh Mulla.—
[Schindler.)
KUH-I-MUHAMMAD BEG—
A mountain between Kuehan and Sultan Maidan to the right of the road
from Kuchan to Meshed. The Sar-i-Yilaiat valley is said to extend for
some eight miles above Chaqaneh to Kuh-i-Muhammad Beg.—(C. E.
Yate ; Schindler.)
KUH-I-MUMINABAD—
A branch of the main range of Khorasan, which bounds the Birjand
drainage basin on the north-east. The pass through the Muminabad hills
is gradual and easy except for a distance of miles, where it would be im
possible for wheeled transport ; there is, however, an easier, though longer,
route making a detour to the east. [MacGregor ; Keyes, September 1904.)
KUH-I-MURGHAB—
A range of mountains on the border between Khorasan, Yazd, and Kir-
man. It attains an elevation of about 5,000 feet.— [Khanikoff ; Steivart.)
KUH-I-NAGlNU—
A mountain in which turquoises are said to have been found, in the Tabas
district of Khorasan.— [MacGregor.)
KUH-I-NAIBAND— Elev. 5,500'.
A mountain on the western border of Khorasan, lying above Naiband.
It is a landmark all over the desert country, and is seen from a great
distance. From it there is a splendid view over the most desolate scenery
that it is possible to imagine—miles and miles of cour^ry utterly burnt up.
1 he Naiband range, of which it is a peak, lies south-west about 4 miles,
where the head of the pass through it is reached on the Kirman road.—
[Stewart.)
