The Jordan River flows through from north-east to south-east, forming small sections of the northern and southern boundaries as it enters and exits.[3]

Route C182 (Pelham Road) starts at an intersection with C185 in the village and runs north-west until it exits. Route C183 (Bluff Road) starts at an intersection with C185 in the south-east and runs generally south-west until it exits.[2][4]
