In the North, there is the Model Town Stadium, and near to it, on its eastern side is the Yamuna River. This river runs from the North in a vertical fashion, and leads down to Kamla Nagar and then on to Saint James Church.

It is situated at the railway tracks that cut across this location diagonally, the North West. These railway tracks continue to go on eastwards, passing a location known as the ‘Mutiny Memorial’.
Midway, between Sabzi Mundi and Mutiny Memorial, there is a junction from where the railway tracks take different directions. This means that from here you can get to other major areas of the city. One track goes straight towards the East, one goes straight down to the South, while another goes westwards and splits into two.
