The eponymous Lake Chicobi is roughly in the centre of the territory's western portion. It is fed by the Authier and Chicobi Rivers and drained by the Octave River, a tributary of the Harricana River.

South of Lake Chicobi is the community of Guyenne, the territory's only population centre. It is named after the geographic township of Guyenne, in turn named for the Régiment de Guyenne that fought under General Montcalm's command.
