Geography

The Bruce Highway touches the south-west boundary of North Isis (but does not enter it). At this point, the Isis Highway splits off and passes through the south-west corner of the locality and then forms the western boundary of the locality. [3]

The land use is predominantly crop growing, mostly sugarcane, with grazing on native vegetation. [4] There is a network of cane tramways in the locality to transport the harvested sugarcane to the local sugar mill. [3]
