Greater Maban (which means the people of the land) is a county located in the Upper Nile State of South Sudan.[2] The county capital is the town of Bunj. In 2017, the South Sudan government divided the county into two: North East and South West.
Four rivers flow through the Greater Maban County: the Ahmar, the Yale, the Tombak, and the Yabus. In September 2012, heavy rains and flooding were experienced in the Tombak floodplain. [3]
