c7.s17.10

As the One inch-to-one mile Survey Map shows, there is a narrow belt of alluvial land varying from half a mile to one and a half mile in width with occasional hillocks, for instance at Andheri (just behind the present Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan), Ambivli—which abuts on or lies against the slowly rising hilly area on the east. Even now it is fairly wooded, and contains three lakes—The Tulsi, Vihar and Pavai. The region immediately east of Kandivli-Borivli is comparatively very high, the highest peak probably being the Kanheri (the ancient Krishnagiri) hill.
