The quadrangle is located in the northeastern portion of Mars' eastern hemisphere and covers 120° to 180° east longitude and 30° to 65° north latitude. The quadrangle uses a Lambert conformal conic projection at a nominal scale of 1:5,000,000. The Cebrenia quadrangle is also referred to as MC-7. It includes part of Utopia Planitia and Arcadia Planitia.
The southern and northern borders of the Cebrenia quadrangle are approximately and wide, respectively. The north to south distance is about . The quadrangle covers an approximate area of, about 3% of Mars' surface area.
