Fort Lee occupies a landscape defined by the persistent, quiet passage of the White Oak Swamp Creek, which meanders through the terrain with a slow and deliberate weight. It lies 3.5 miles south of Highland Springs, VA (from Highland Springs, VA: bearing 187°T), and is situated 7.9 miles east-southeast of Richmond.

Six miles to the west, the basin known as The Slash creates a subtle depression in the landscape, while the distant, hazy outline of the Blue Ridge Mountains occasionally haunts the far western sky on the clearest of days. Valley Mill Pond sits four miles away, a still mirror reflecting the heavy boughs of ancient oaks that dominate the surrounding woodlands.
