The District contains four tehsils:-

It is situated in the north east of Punjab, Jhelum straddles both sides of the Grand Trunk Road. It is bounded in the north by Rawalpindi District, in the South by Gujrat and Sargodha, in the east by Azad Jammu & Kashmir and in the west by District Chakwal from which it is separated by a mountainous range called the Kohistan-e-Nimak.
The river passes through the Eastern & Southern parts of the District. The soil adjoining the river is generally plain, alluvial and quite fertile. This area is generally cultivable and produces all types of crops. The western edge of Tehsil P.D.Khan is both exceedingly rough and difficult in approach making this area relatively inaccessible. The newly constructed Motor Way has now opened up this area. The area of District is as below:
