Backamadaras lies in the middle course of the Nyárád – Niraj River, at a distance of 18 kilometres south-east of Marosvásárhely – Târgu-Mureş, between Nyárádgálfalva – Găleşti and Ákosfalva – Acăţari. Backamadaras is the administrative centre of Szentgerice – Gălăţeni and Bálintfalva – Bolintineni.
