Morrisville is located in the northeast central region of North Carolina, where the [[Piedmont (United States)|North American Piedmont]] and [[Atlantic Coastal Plain]] regions meet. This area is known as the "[[Atlantic Seaboard fall line|Fall Line]]" because it marks the elevation inland at which waterfalls begin to appear in creeks and rivers. As a result, most of Morrisville features gently rolling hills that slope eastward toward the state's flat coastal plain. Its central Piedmont location situates the county approximately three hours west of [[Atlantic Beach, North Carolina|Atlantic Beach]] by car and four hours east of the [[Great Smoky Mountains]].

The central core of Morrisville is located along the upper portion of [[Crabtree Creek (Neuse River)|Crabtree Creek]], which then feeds into [[Lake Crabtree]], located in the southeastern part of the town.
