Hettick is found in the northwestern part of Macoupin County, Illinois. It's about 13 miles (21 km) northwest of Carlinville, which is the main town and government center for the county. A road called Illinois Route 111 goes through the village, acting as its Main Street. This road connects Hettick to other nearby towns like Palmyra to the north and Chesterfield to the south.
The village covers a total area of about 0.37 square miles (0.95 square kilometers), and all of it is land. Hettick is built on a raised area of land, like a small hill. Water from this area flows into two nearby streams, Solomon Creek and Nassa Creek. These streams eventually join Macoupin Creek, which then flows into the Illinois River.
