The Maikal Range, which acts as a watershed between the Narmada and Mahanadi river systems, forms the western boundary of which physiographic region in Chhattisgarh?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Maikal Range is an eastward extension of the Satpura Range and runs in a north-south direction, forming the natural western boundary of the Chhattisgarh Plain. It separates the drainage basin of the west-flowing Narmada River from the east-flowing Mahanadi River system. The plateau regions of Bastar and the northern hills lie outside this immediate central basin boundary.
