"Located at the western end of Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, the town occupies a low-lying cape at the meeting of the Annapolis and Allain’s rivers. East of town, the Annapolis River widens to form the French Basin. Below town to the west, past Goat Island, the river widens again into the Annapolis Basin, creating a huge natural harbour before emptying into the Bay of Fundy through the Digby Gut. This dramatic landscape is framed by the two parallel ranges known as the North and South Mountains" ("Community History" at Annapolis Heritage Society [ https://annapolisheritagesociety.com/community-history/ : accessed 28 October 2025]).
