The Capricorn Highway and, to its immediate south, the Central Western railway line form the western end of the northern boundary of the locality. The highway and the railway (but with the railway to the north) form the eastern end of the northern boundary, having crossed within the town of Jericho to the immediate north.[6]
The Great Dividing Range runs through the western part of the locality from north-east to south-east. Jordan Creek rises in the south of the locality and flows north to Jericho. Like all creeks in the locality west of the range, they are eventually tributaries of the Barcoo River within the Lake Eyre drainage basin , whereas watercourses to the east of the range are within the North East Coast drainage basin flowing into the Coral Sea .[6]
The predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation.[6]
