The region includes the western Sierra Grande which is drained by the north flowing Ríos Pichanas and Guasapampa. Access to the region, from Córdoba city, is via Ruta Nacional 38 which connects the main population centres of La Cumbre, Capilla del Monte, Cruz del Eje, and Villa de Soto. A number of secondary roads connecting the centres of La Higuera, Ciénaga del Coro, and La Playa to the main centres afford good access to most of the rock types in the sheet area.
