Pathna is a location in the Pathna CD block in the Rajmahal subdivision of the Sahibganj district in the Indian state of Jharkhand.

Geography

Location

Pathna is located at 24°50′31″N 87°45′21″E / 24.841861°N 87.755972°E / 24.841861; 87.755972.

Pathna is not identified in 2011 census as a separate place. In the map of Pathna CD block on page 129 of the District Census Handbook 2011, Sahibganj, Pathna is marked as headquarters of the CD block but the maps in the Jharkhand census handbooks are so unclear that the mouza/ village it is located in cannot be identified. (Anybody can check the map as given in the reference and if the mouza/ village can be identified, it can be recorded here.)

Overview

The map shows a hilly area with the Rajmahal hills running from the bank of the Ganges in the extreme north to the south, beyond the area covered by the map into Dumka district. ‘Farakka’ is marked on the map and that is where Farakka Barrage is, just inside West Bengal. Rajmahal coalfield is shown in the map. The entire area is overwhelmingly rural with only small pockets of urbanisation.

Note: The full screen map is interesting. All places marked on the map are linked and you can easily move on to another page of your choice. Enlarge the map to see what else is there – one gets railway links, many more road links and so on.
