The town of Madbury is shaped like a wedge, extending from the eastern tip of the town touching Cedar Point on Little Bay to the town's border with Barrington to the west. The towns of Durham and Lee border Madbury to the south, and the city of Dover is to the northeast. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 12.2 square miles, of which 11.7 square miles is land and 0.6 square miles is water, comprising 4.58% of the town. The highest point of land is the summit of Hicks Hill, at 331 feet above sea level, located close to the center of town.
