The city's estimated total area is about 390 sq miles. An unsure total area of this city is water, and the other part of it is land. The highest natural point in this city is yet to be mentioned.
The city can be divided by four major parts:
- Downtown - generally defined the center of the city, consisting of mixed commercial buildings and small residential buildings. Most offices and businesses can be found here, and it can be described as the busiest area in the city. Some of its significant points of interest include the Town Hall, Singing Stone Plaza, The Rodent's Gazette, The Daily Rat, Mouseum of Modern Art, Cheap Junk for Less, Cheese Market, Mouse Central Station, Angorat International Airport, and the Public Library.

Point of interest include Mousidon Square Garden, Blushing Meadows Tennis Court, Swimming Pool and Curlyfur Island Amusement Park.
- The Coast - can be generally defined as the land near the sea. It consists of most marine and tourism-based businesses, as well as a trading port. Points of interest include the Shipyard, Luna Lighthouse, New Mouse Harbor, The Statue of Liberty, and an unnamed beach.
- Upstate - generally defined as the outskirts of the city, remote from the rush of Downtown. Most of it is found at the north, northeast, and the east. It is constructed of mainly industrial factories. Some points of interest found here include the Industrial Zone, the Cheese Factories, and The Seven Hills Of Mouse Island which on one of it has a few windmills that could be generating electricity for the city's use.

Trivia[]
- Although New Mouse City is a play on New York City, the city is missing some of New York's famous points of interests and/or landmarks such as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Central Park, the UN Headquarters, Chinatown, Little Italy, and One World Trade Center.
- The Statue of Liberty in New Mouse City has some differences from the one in New York, such as being gold in colour and holding a cheese in the left paw.
- There is a New York City in the Rodent Universe because in A Very Merry Christmas, the Stiltons all travel to New York. In the Thea Stilton books, Pam lives in New York City, even though she was born in Tanzania.
