Geography

Terry Township is located in southeastern Bradford County and is bordered by Wilmot Township to the southeast, Albany Township to the west, and Asylum Township to the northwest. The Susquehanna River forms a winding border with Wyalusing Township to the north and east. The borough of Wyalusing also lies across the river.

Pennsylvania Route 187 passes through the township in the same general direction as the Susquehanna River. Where it approaches the west bank of the river, it passes through the unincorporated communities of Terrytown and Cherrytown. A bridge over the Susquehanna near the southeastern border of the township connects Route 187 with Wyalusing Township, just south of the borough of Wyalusing.
