Geography and Natural
Terrain
In the west, Mandaesan Mountain sits to the southwest of Misungsan Mountain, forming a natural boundary with Gyeongsangnam-do Province. In the east, the Nakdonggang River flows around four myeon(“townships”), forming a natural boundary with Dalsung-gun. In the north, the Uibongsan Mountain and Gayasan Mountain ranges separate the county from Seongju-gun county.
Streams
The Hoecheon and Sogacheon Streams originate in the valleys of Gayasan Mountain, and flow through Wunsu and Deokgok-myeon before converging in Bongwan-ri, Daegaya-eup. The streams then join Anrimcheon Stream (which flows through Ssangrim-myeon via Gayasan Mountain in Gyeongsangnam-do Province) in the lower southeast part of Daegaya-eup, ultimately flowing into the Nakdonggang River.
Transportation
The Gwangju Daegu Expressway bisects (19.8km in length) the county in the west-east direction. The Daegu-Gunsan, Goseong-Seonsan, Wicheon-Gimcheon and Jeokjung- Haepyeong roads run in all directions throughout the county, with Daegaya-eup at its center, making it a hub of transportation.
