Meshkān

Meshkan lies in the eastern uplands of Fars, between Neyriz and the dry country towards Shahr-e Babak. Mountains enclose small plains and valleys, where settlements cluster around available water. Fields and grazing land occupy the gentler ground, while bare ridges separate one basin from the next. This is part of the transition from the Zagros valleys to the more arid interior of the Iranian plateau, a landscape of scattered villages and long distances between larger towns.
