Jabalpur district is located in the [[Mahakoshal]] region of Madhya Pradesh, on the divide between the watersheds of [[Narmada River|Narmada]] and the [[Son River|Son]], but mostly within the valley of the Narmada, which here runs through the famous gorge known as the [[Marble Rocks|Marble rocks]], and falls 30&nbsp;ft. over a rocky ledge (the ''Dhuan Dhar'', or misty shoot ). It consists of a long narrow plain running north-east and south-west and shut in on all sides by highlands. This plain, which forms an offshoot from the great valley of the Narmada, is covered in its western and southern portions by a rich alluvial deposit of black cotton soil. At Jabalpur city, the soil is black cotton soil, and water plentiful near the surface. The north and east belong to the basin of the [[Son River]], a tributary of the [[Ganges]] and [[Yamuna]], the south and west to the Narmada basin. The district is traversed by the main railway from [[Mumbai]] to [[Kolkata]], and by branches of two other lines which meet at [[Katni]] junction.

Jabalpur district is a district of Madhya Pradesh state in central India. The city of Jabalpur is the administrative headquarters of the district.

The area of the district is 5,198 km2[1] with population of 2,463,289 (2011 census). As of 2011 it is the second most populous district of Madhya Pradesh (out of 50), after Indore.[2]

Jabalpur district is located in the Mahakoshal region of Madhya Pradesh, on the divide between the watersheds of Narmada and the Son, but mostly within the valley of the Narmada, which here runs through the famous gorge known as the Marble rocks, and falls 30 ft. over a rocky ledge (the Dhuan Dhar, or misty shoot ). It consists of a long narrow plain running north-east and south-west and shut in on all sides by highlands. This plain, which forms an offshoot from the great valley of the Narmada, is covered in its western and southern portions by a rich alluvial deposit of black cotton soil. At Jabalpur city, the soil is black cotton soil, and water plentiful near the surface. The north and east belong to the basin of the Son River, a tributary of the Ganges and Yamuna, the south and west to the Narmada basin. The district is traversed by the main railway from Mumbai to Kolkata, and by branches of two other lines which meet at Katni junction.[3]
