BOUNDARIES
On the west the district is bounded by the Arabian Sea and on the east its boundary runs partly along the foothill zone and partly along the watershed of the major Sahyadrian scarp. On the north, it is separated from the Thana district by a boundary that is mainly administrative. On the south, the Savitri river runs as a boundary over a stretch of about 20 miles, though here too the eastern half of the boundary separating Kolaba from the Ratnagiri district is mainly administrative. From the administrative point of view, the districts of Thana and Ratnagiri arc its northern and southern neighbours, but over a length of twenty miles in the south-east, the Satara district adjoins Kolaba and on the east over the major length it is the Poona district that forms the major adjacent district having important economic relationship through the Sahyadrian Ghat passes.
