Georgetown and the surrounding high ground of western Floyd County are defined by a series of prominent ridges and deep hollows that transition toward the Harrison County line. The settlement pattern follows the established corridors of the Norfolk Southern railroad and historic thoroughfares like Old Vincennes Rd, which connects the smaller communities of Galena and Greenville. The landscape is punctuated by numerous family and community landmarks, including Green Lawn Cem and Wolfe Cem, alongside a network of upland water bodies like Brazils Lake and Mount Saint Frances Lake. To the south and east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex near Edwardsville, where the drainage of Knob Cr carves out distinctive features such as Cave Hollow and Als Hollow, while ridges like Pond Ridge and Musty Ridge dominate the local topography.
