The location of Kisuatni is uncertain, although it is likely to have been in the eastern part of the Cilician plain. Karahüyük, ca. 15 km south of Toprakkale, has been (tentatively) suggested as a possible location of Kisuatni (see, e.g., Helsinki Atlas Map 2). That proposed location is not universally accepted.
