Pothohar Plateau, Physiographic plateau in Punjab, Pakistan
The Pothohar Plateau extends between the Indus and Jhelum rivers, with elevations ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 feet across Punjab's northern districts.
Archaeological discoveries in the Soan Valley of Pothohar Plateau revealed human settlements dating back to 774,000 BC, marking it among the earliest inhabited regions.
The plateau's population speaks multiple Punjabi dialects, including Pothwari, Dhanni, and Hindko, reflecting the linguistic variations across different districts.
Agriculture in the region relies primarily on annual rainfall between 15 to 20 inches, with wheat, barley, and sorghum as principal crops.
The plateau contains Pakistan's first major oil fields, discovered at Khaur in 1915, leading to subsequent petroleum developments throughout the region.
