The Hill sits on private property; the high point sits in a forested area surrounded by farmland. In 2004, an Eagle Scout in cooperation with the property owner built a trail, sign, and picnic area at the high point.

Geologically, the hill sits in the Crawford Upland, an area of high terrain in southeast Indiana that sits on top of the geologic structure known as the Cincinnati Arch. However, Hoosier Hill is located in a portion of the upland buried underneath glacial debris known as the Tipton Till Plain. As a result, the "hill" is no more than 30 feet higher than the surrounding landscape of gently rolling farmland.
