A portion of the county is occupied by the Ryongam wetlands, which also cross into Ch'ŏrwŏn. Most of the county's terrain is mountainous, although there a few small expanses of level ground. The Kwangju and Majŏllyŏng mountains pass through P'yŏnggang. The region is prone to heavy rains.[citation needed]
History
The P'yŏnggang area was known as Puyang hyŏn during the Koguryŏ period, and as Kangp'yŏng (강평) under Silla. In the Koryŏ Dynasty, it was included in Tongju (동주); in the Chosŏn dynasty, it took its modern name.
On August 15, 1945, P'yŏnggang county included 1 ŭp(P'yŏnggang), 6 myŏn(Sŏ, Nam, Hyŏnnae, Mokchŏn, Sep'o, Yujin). Presently, it is divided into 1 ŭp and 30 ri (villages):
