Long Julan is located in the upper reaches of the Baram River at its confluence with Sungai Julan, a tributary which flows down from the Usun Apau National Park.[4]

If the Baram Dam hydroelectric project goes ahead, Long Julan will be one of the villages affected by the flooding of 389,000 hectares of jungle.[5]
