Jingzhou starts from Xiaocha Village in Pingcha Town in the south, Shanmen Village in Gantang Town in the north, Baochong Village in Wenxi Township in the east and Tongluo Village in Dabaozi Town in the west. It borders Tongdao County in the south, with a side length of 82 kilometers; The northern part is connected with the mountains in Huitong county, with a side length of 75 kilometers; Suining county is adjacent to the east, with a side length of 44 kilometers; It borders Miao Ling, Guizhou in the west and Liping, Jinping and Tianzhu counties, with a side length of 153km. Jingzhou County is 58 kilometers long from north to south and 68 kilometers wide from east to west, with a total area of 22 10.56 square kilometers, equivalent to 22 1053 hectares, accounting for 1.04% of the total area of Hunan Province. Jingzhou is located in the eastern slope of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with many mountains, hills and basins and diverse landforms. The terrain is steep in the east, west and south, low in the north, and a long and narrow mountain basin in the middle. The whole terrain is inclined from south to north and distributed in a "V" shape. The altitude is 278 ~1173m, the elevation difference is 900m, and the topographic ratio is reduced to 29.3%. The surface fluctuates greatly. The terrain is mainly mountainous, accounting for four-fifths of the county's total area. The plains are the second, the hills are the second, the hills are the third, and the waters are the least. Streams and rivers are densely covered, and the undercutting and weathering of flowing water have significantly shaped the surface, with strong cutting and developed erosion and accumulation landforms.

The mountains on the east and west sides are generally more than 500 meters above sea level, mainly in Zhongshan and middle and low mountains, and the mountains are mostly northeast and parallel to the tectonic line. Indigo Mountain in the east of Jiangdong, with an altitude of1173m, is the highest peak in the county. Due to the high terrain, abundant rainfall and strong downward cutting of water flow, the cutting depth is often 400 ~ 500 meters, and the deepest part is over 700 meters. The slope is generally 30 ~ 40 degrees, with high mountains and deep valleys, overlapping mountains and ravines.

The central hilly basin belt starts from Xinchang in the southwest and passes through Hengjiang Bridge, Pukou, Feishan, County and Genshan Pass. The northeast reaches Taiyangping and the northeast narrow strip of Gan Tang, with an altitude of 300-400 meters. The ground is relatively open and flat, with gentle terrain and hills in the middle. The three large mountain basins of Jingzhou City, Gan Tang and Xinchang are distributed in a beaded shape.

The northern hilly areas, including the central part of Dabaozi Town, Aoshang Town and the western and northern parts of Taiyangping Township, are generally 400-600 meters above sea level, mostly low mountains. Taiyangping Xianchi is only 278 meters above sea level, which is the lowest place in the county. The central open area is Aoshang Valley Basin. Jingzhou County belongs to Yuanshui River Basin, with dense streams and developed surface water system. There are large and small rivers 10 1 km with a rainfall collection area of more than 3 square kilometers, with a total length of 102 1 km, of which 9 rivers are more than 20 kilometers. There are 13 rivers with rainfall collection area exceeding 50 square kilometers. The main rivers from south to north are Qujiang, Sixiang, Hengjiangqiao, Laoya, Feixi, Jiaodi, Jin Tan, Gaojian, Diling and Guangping.
