Bands of pink and gray colored conglomerate show up at his southwest slopes. His South and its western flank are much steeper and rockier compared to the once densely forested southern and southeastern flanks. The summit consists of interconnecting Diabassäulen from the Jurassic period, which are interpreted as remnants of a Diabsschicht and in the tillite from the Permian, which can be seen on the east side of the mountain, penetrate.

Lake Margaret is located north of the mountain, while Lake Beatrice and Lake Burbury be located on its eastern side. The water of the Lake Margaret comes definitely from Mount Sedgwick, with smaller lakes are above as sources.

Mount Geikie and the Tyndall Range are the main mountains of the West Coast Range north of Mount Sedgwick.
