The district includes Tanjung Dunung, the most northerly point on the Sumatran mainland. Three of the thirteen villages comprising the district lie west of this cape (and thus can be considered as within the Krueng Aceh river valley and the northeast coastal suburbs of Banda Aceh city), these are the gampong of Lamnga, Gampong Baro and Neuheun, with a combined area of 8.89 km2 and a population of around 10,620; the other ten gampong (Durung and Ladong, plus the villages comprising mukin Kreung Raya) are situated to the east of the cape, with Keude (Meunasah) and Leupung as their main centres.
