It comprises an area of around 47 square kilometers in the west of Palau's largest island, Babeldaob, facing onto Ngeremeduu Bay.

Ngatpang, which is located on the central west coast, includes a very large area of the interior to the southeast of Ngeremeduu Bay.

On the east side of Ngeremeduu Bay, Ngatpang extends to the Rael Kedam, the central divide on Babeldaob Island.

The Ngetmiich River, the largest tributary of the Tabecheding, drains the large interior region in the southeast part of the State.

Along the edges of the bay, on the lower slopes of the hills, are deep, loamy soils which contain rich deposits of clay.

Interspersed with these kitchen gardens are stands of agroforest which include coconut, and betelnut, breadfruit, almond trees, and banana plants.

In and around many of the uninhabited villages are stands of coconut and betelnut palms, and occasionally patches of irregularly attended taro swamp gardens.

At least seven traditional village sites lie within Ngatpang: one on the west coast, five along the south and east sides of Ngeremeduu Bay, and one on the Ngcholetel River near its juncture with the Ngerbechederngul.

These settlements were focused on the rich soil with a mixed forest on a thin strip of land along the coast, around the bay, and extending a short distance up the Ngerbechederngul.

A second road extends north west from Nekken (Aimeliik) to Mechebechubel winding its way through extremely rugged hills.
