Warmia occupies a 100 kilometer long strip of land along the right bank of the [[Pasłęka|Pasłęka River]], approximately 20 kilometers wide in the north and increasing to over 70 kilometers wide in the south. The [[Łyna (river)|Łyna River]] drains the southern portion of the region, flowing to the northeast to join with the [[Pregolya]]. The terrain is composed of gentle hills and wide plains, and has a [[humid continental climate]], with milder temperatures found at lower elevations in the north near the coast.

With the exception of the far northern and southern ends of the region, the Pasłęka constitutes its western border. That river flows into the [[Vistula Lagoon]] just after passing the town of [[Braniewo]]. The historically important port town of [[Frombork]] lies west of the Pasłęka, near the mouth of the {{ill|Bauda River|pl|Bauda}}. Further south, the Pasłęka is joined by the tributaries {{ill|Wałsza|pl|Wałsza}} and [[Drwęca Warmińska]], with the headwaters of the river located near the southern end of Warmia.

The source of the Łyna river is found just south of the southern tip of the region, near the eponymous town of [[Łyna, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship|Łyna]]. The river flows through several lakes on the western end of the [[Masurian Lake District]], passing through the cities of [[Olsztyn]] and [[Lidzbark Warmiński]] as it takes in numerous tributaries on its journey north. This southern portion of Warmia is more heavily forested and historically had many towns with Polish-speaking majorities, while the rest of the region was almost entirely German-speaking.
