Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, is situated on the banks of the Buriganga River and is one of the largest cities in the world. Known as the “City of Mosques” and the “City of Rickshaws,” Dhaka has a rich cultural and historical significance.
In the 17th century, during the Mughal era, Dhaka served as the capital of Bengal. A comparison between Dhaka’s map from the Mughal period and its current layout reveals the vast changes the city has undergone over the past 300 years.
As one of the world’s most populous cities, Dhaka’s road network is extensive but evolved organically. Many roads were built around established settlements rather than following a pre-designed urban plan.
The current map of Dhaka displays police stations, roads, wards, markets, historical landmarks, and administrative regions, encompassing both Dhaka South and Dhaka North City Corporations. The Bangladesh government divided the city into these two corporations, each with its own administrative offices and maps. Today, Dhaka is represented by separate maps for its northern and southern regions, reflecting the administrative boundaries of Dhaka North City Corporation and Dhaka South City Corporation.
Dhaka city corporations also have Dhaka ward map for each city corporation. They have details Dhaka Thana map or Dhaka area map also. See Dhaka City Corporation word list and area below.

more.. about Dhaka city and Bangladesh Map
If we compare today’s maps of Dhaka South and Dhaka North with the old city map from the Mughal era, we can observe hundreds of changes. Historic areas like Sadar Ghat, Chawk Bazar, Lalbagh, Nawabganj, Bangshal, Paltan, Ramna, Rayer Bazar, and Tejgaon still exist as witnesses to centuries of history. During the Mughal period, people of Dhaka settled near the Buriganga River to take advantage of the river’s transportation routes.
Over the centuries, the city’s boundaries have expanded significantly. To the north, the city now stretches to Tongi, Uttara, Pallabi, and Cantonment; to the east, it extends to Badda, Gulshan, Khilgaon, Sabujbagh, and Demra; and to the west, it encompasses Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Hazaribagh, and Dhanmondi. In the coming years, Dhaka is expected to further expand eastward into Purbachal and other parts of Rupganj Upazila in Narayanganj.
