Millersburg sits at the confluence of Wiconisco Creek and the Susquehanna River, serving as a focal point for the river-valley communities of Dauphin and Perry Counties. The 2010 landscape is characterized by the broad river channel, punctuated by large landforms such as Sweigarts Island and Crafts Island. To the west, the settlement of Liverpool clings to the riverbank, while the residential development of Pleasant Hills spreads to the east. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features, most notably the Susquehanna Water Gaps and the sheltered stretches of Hunters Valley and Bucks Valley. Local genealogy and land history are preserved at Oak Hill Cemetery and Rickard Memorial Cemetery, which overlook the surrounding hillsides. Water management is evident through various structures, including Markunas Dam on Boyers Run and the Kaercher Creek Dam, which modulate the drainage into the primary river corridor.
