The name "Ankh-Morpork" refers to both the city itself, a walled city about five miles (8 km) across, and the surrounding suburbs and farms of its fiefdom. The city itself lies on the River Ankh, the most polluted waterway, which divides it into the more affluent Ankh and the poorer Morpork (including the slum-like "Shades".) Lying approximately equidistant from the cold, mountainous Hub and tropical Rim, Ankh-Morpork is equivalent of the temperate zone.
Ankh-Morpork is built on black loam, broadly, but is mostly built on itself; pragmatic citizens simply built on top of the existing buildings rather than excavate them out as the river flooded and the sediment grew too high. There are many unknown basements, including an entire "cave network" below Ankh-Morpork made up of old streets and abandoned sewers.
