Shahbazpur

Shahbazpur is the island country at the mouth of the Meghna, between the great channels leading into the Bay of Bengal. The land is formed from river-borne silt and is continually reshaped by currents, erosion and new deposits. James Rennell’s eighteenth-century map records the island as South Shahbazpur. The shifting waterways around it could consume old land even as new islands and banks emerged farther out in the estuary.
