Located nearby on Island Lake are the First Nations communities of Wasagamack and Garden Hill and the northern settlement of Island Lake which with St. Theresa Point had a combined population of 7,120 in 2011. The St. Theresa Point reserve is bordered by the unorganized portion of Division No. 22, Manitoba, and by the Wasagamack First Nation.

The community is only accessible by airplane or winter ice roads (which continue north towards Garden Hill, and southwest towards Manigotagan, with a branch leading towards Berens River). The community is served by the nearby St. Theresa Point Airport. It has a local educational institution, St Theresa Point Regional Centre, with courses offered by the University College of the North and Assiniboine Community College.
