Part of the Sint Geertruid population centre in the Eijsden-Margraten municipality are also the separately situated townships of: Bruisterbosch (80 inhabitants), Herkenrade (180), Libeek (65) and Moerslag (55).

A significant part of the "Savelsbos" hill side forest[2] is situated in the outlying area of Sint Geertruid.
