The City County of Hartridge is the smallest county by land area in Southland. Located between Lake Hannah, Hartridge Bay which opens up to the Cantalle Ocean, and the Southerland Mountains. The city rapidly rises from sea level to 120-220 feet in elevation. In some places on the north and south ends of the city, hills reach elevations of 560 to 980 feet.
 
Lake Hannah is the largest lake in Freedonia at 182 square miles. Of which 48 square miles of the lake is owned by the Hartridge Municipality. The Municipality also faces Hartridge Bay which is 690 square miles in area. The Municipality owns 114 square miles of the bay. The remaining area is divided between the greenbelt and the urban area. The Urban Area is 290 square miles. 18 miles east to west in length. And 16.12 miles north to south in width.
 
Outside of this area to the north is the Hartridge Greenbelt Park, at 128 square miles. It is mountainous and heavily forested. The greenbelt is home to the tallest mountain in the city at 2,300 feet in height. Most hills and mountains in the greenbelt are between 1,800 and 2,300 feet. 
 
In 1973 the Spring Canal was completed, connecting Lake Hannah and Hartridge Bay. The Area prior to this was well known for flooding during heavy rainfall as well as flooding from Lake Hannah overflowing it's banks. The area as a result was left as a natural flood plain, dividing the northern and southern parts of the city. The Area was raised from a elevation of 29 feet to 63 feet during the 1980's. The area during the 1990's was developed into a mixed use area of high density commerical and housing.
 
Uptown and Downtown Hartridge was built along the new lands. The Central Business District is located along the banks of Spring Canal and the Bayshore. The city is still at risk of flooding, though not to the extent prior to 1973.
