Shakaar's farm in the Dahkur Hills in 2371
Dahkur Province was a province on Bajor dominated by agricultural use. One notable exception were the Dahkur Hills, an impassable area that included Kola Mountain, Tanis Canyon, Ratosha Pass, and Serpent's Ridge.
Dahkur Province was also the birthplace of Kira Nerys. (DS9: "Second Skin")
Due to this rough mountainous terrain, the Bajoran Resistance was able to survive in Dahkur Province better than in other regions of Bajor. The resistance cell led by Shakaar Edon used these mountains as an advantage, a group which even Gul Dukat admitted that the Cardassians were not able to effectively suppress. (DS9: "Shakaar")
By the Occupation's end in 2369, the soil of the province was poisoned by the Cardassians. (DS9: "Shakaar")
In the 2370s, many artists lived in the province's capital city. (DS9: "Accession")
In 2371, the Bajoran Agricultural Ministry developed soil reclamators that could detoxify the province's soil. Kai Winn Adami, during her brief tenure as First Minister, ordered the reclamators be deployed to Rakantha Province in the hopes of growing cash crops for export, such as boton, moreka, and salam grass. However, the reclamators had already been promised to Dahkur Province, and Winn's attempts to force their early removal nearly led to civil war. (DS9: "Shakaar")
In 2373, Kira and Shakaar traveled around Dahkur Province. (DS9: "The Assignment")
In 2401, Admiral Jean-Luc Picard kept a map of Bajor's major archaeological sites in the study at Château Picard that identified Dahkur Province, including Tempasa, Ha'athorn, Singha, Gallitep, and nearby archaeological sites in the region. (PIC: "The Star Gazer")
In the mirror universe, Dahkur Province was the site of a mining operation. (DS9: "Resurrection")

Background information[]
According to the script for "Accession", the province's name was pronounced as "duh-KOOR". [1]
Dahkur Province was labeled in the northern hemisphere on a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine production map of Bajor that writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe maintained, though its location shifted a bit for Geoffrey Mandel for Star Trek: Star Charts. (p. 42) [2](X) Mandel corrected to the original location for a map of archaeological sites created for Star Trek: Picard. [3]
