The map
Al-Kut sits in eastern Iraq on a sharp bend of the Tigris, and its map is defined by that loop. The river curls almost all the way around the older city and leaves it on a peninsula surrounded by water on three sides. Beyond the banks, the flat plain of central Mesopotamia stretches out, crossed by irrigation channels and farmland.
Just upstream, the Kut Barrage spans the Tigris and diverts water into the Gharraf canal, which runs south toward the lower Euphrates region. Both the barrage and the canal appear clearly as straight engineered lines against the natural curves of the river. An Al-Kut map poster shows both the river and the waterworks that manage it.
The city is known in modern history for the long siege of 1915–16, when British and Indian troops were surrounded in the river bend by Ottoman forces. Today it is the capital of Wasit Province and a market centre for the farmland around it.

The dam across the Tigris controls the flow of water for irrigation. It is a firm straight line that crosses the curve of the river.
A canal branches south from the Tigris at the city and carries water across the plain. Its long course leads away from the city toward the lower valleys.
