Two major subdivisions, Raiganj and Islampur, function as administrative centers, connected by National Highways NH-27 and NH-12 for regional transportation.

Raiganj Wildlife Sanctuary within the district houses numerous bird species and serves as a protected natural environment in northern West Bengal.
