The civil parish contains the hamlet of
Susworth, on the east bank of the
River Trent, and that of
Scotterthorpe, northeast from Scotter village. The parish is further north than (nearby)
Kirton Lindsey. The
A159 road, which connects the two towns, crosses the
River Eau (a tributary of the
Trent) in the village. Barlings is at the north-west corner of the village on the River Trent, and the Lincolnshire (West Lindsey) -
North Lincolnshire boundary. The county, district and parish boundary follows eastwards along the River Eau passing north of Scotterthorpe.
Messingham is the parish to the north. It crosses the north–south
North Moor Road which becomes
Scotter Road in
Scunthorpe. It crosses the north–south
Messingham Road (A159) then
Kirton Road (
B1400). A section of the B1400, between Kirton and Messingham, passes through the parish, and Lincolnshire. The boundary passes southwards, touching the western edge of Black Walk Nook, a wood. It passes north–south on the edge of Black Walk Plantation and crosses two roads called
Kirton Road, meeting the parish of
Scotton, which is south of Scotter. The boundary is just the parish boundary from here to the Trent. It crosses
Scotter Road north of Field House, passing north of Cockthorn Farm. It skirts the north edge of a wood, and crosses the A159 near two transmitter masts. It meets
