The exact location of the city is latitude 10° 41′39′′ north, and longitude 123° 34′ 12′′ east. It is situated on the border of the narrow Iloilo Strait, formed by the south-eastern curve of the island of Panay and the adjacent Guimaras Island. It is distant 340 nautical miles from Manila, 175 from Cebu, 243 from Zamboanga, 295 from Jolo, and 24 from Bacolod.
The port is on a narrow arm of the sea, commonly called the Iloilo River. Its harbour is well protected and has good anchorage for steamers of any size. The minimum depth of the river is 17 feet, and the minimum and maximum depths of anchorage are 80 feet and 120 feet, respectively. The entrance channel to the harbour has a minimum depth of 42 feet.
