In the region surrounded by mountains, Kozluk Stream flows through deep valleys called Kayaarası.

The plateau, surrounded by the districts of Arapgir, Arguvan, Divriği and Kemaliye, marks the border of the provinces of Malatya, Erzincan and Sivas. Every summer, nomadic tribes from surrounding provinces, districts, and villages come to this plateau, which has abundant grass and water. The tribes that come to the plateau with the spring stay here until September. Milk obtained from flocks consisting of thousands of sheep is made into cheese and sent to cities for sale.
