'''Baghmara''' is a [[Community development block in India|community development block]] that forms an administrative division in [[Dhanbad Sadar subdivision]] of [[Dhanbad district]], [[Jharkhand]] [[States and territories of India|state]], [[India]].

==Overview==
Dhanbad district forms a part of the [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]], but it is more of an [[Highland|upland]] than a [[plateau]]. The district has two broad physical divisions – the southern part is a coal mining area with mining and industrial towns, and the northern part has villages scattered around hills. The landscape of the southern part is undulating and monotonous, with some scars of subsidence caused by underground mining. One of the many [[Spur (topography)|spurs]] of [[Shikharji|Parashnath Hills]] (1,365.50 m), located in neighbouring Giridih district, passes through the [[Topchanchi (community development block)|Topchanchi]] and [[Tundi (community development block)|Tundi]] areas of the district. The spur attains a height of 457.29 m but there is no peak as such. The Dhangi Hills (highest peak 385.57 m) run from [[Pradhan Khunta]] to [[Gobindpur, Jharkhand|Gobindpur]]. While the main river [[Damodar River|Damodar]] flows along the southern boundary, its tributary, the [[Barakar River|Barakar]], flows along the northern boundary. [[Damodar Valley Corporation|DVC]] has built two dams across the rivers. The [[Panchet Dam]] is across the Damodar and the [[Maithon Dam]] is across the Barakar.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/28391/9/09_chapter%203.pdf | title= Chapter III - Study Area: Dhanbad District| work= Pages 38-43 |publisher= Shodganga | access-date = 8 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url= http://dhanbad.nic.in/pdf/gztr_2.Chapter%20I%20(GENERAL)%201-38.pdf | title= gztr 2.Chapter I (General) 1-38 | work= Pages 2-5 | publisher= Jharkhand Government | access-date= 8 October 2017 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20171118110935/http://dhanbad.nic.in/pdf/gztr_2.Chapter%20I%20(GENERAL)%201-38.pdf | archive-date= 2017-11-18 | url-status= dead }}</ref>
