Watson sits on calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, which are overlain in places by Quaternary alluvium. This geology includes the limestone that gave Canberra its original name, "Limestone Plains."

Watson is bordered by the Federal Highway, Phillip Avenue, and Antill Street. Traffic loads on these roads have risen significantly with the development of Gungahlin, and some sections were projected to exceed capacity before 2021.
