It is centered on Sourland Mountain and comprises parts of Lambertville, East Amwell, West Amwell, Hillsborough, Hopewell Boro, Hopewell Township, Montgomery. The region is flanked by the Hopewell Fault to the south and Amwell Valley to the north〔Luce, TJ. "New Jersey's Sourland Mountain" Hopewell: Sourland Planning Council, 2001. pg. 132〕 that runs from Mount Airy to an area just west of Flagtown and a diabase formation running from Lambertville to Mount Airy. The Sourland also include a hilly area towards the southwest called Pleasant Valley, with a number of farms.

The slopes of the ridge to the north are also home to Unionville Vineyard. ==Ridges== *Belle Mountain- an isolated trap rock hill between Sourland Mountain and Baldplate Mountain *Peach Ridge or Rocktown Ridge- runs along Rocktown and Wertsville Roads〔(Hunterdon Republican )〕 *Pennington Mountain- runs roughly from Bell Mountain to Stony Brook〔Geological Survey of New Jersey.
