The fact that Yorktown was located on a river, enabled the French navy (warships) to prevent British escape by sea. If it had been further inland, the area might not have been as well explored as the river, and therefore making it a lot harder for General Washington to plan a trap. Also, being by a river eliminates an escape by land in one direction, leaving only three directions to be guarded.
General Cornwallis was in the center of Yorktown so they surrounded his troops, so Cornwallis finally surrendered after 2 weeks.

Yorktown's location on a peninsula was a tremendous aid to the American cause as it sought to defeat Cornwallis and his army in 1781. Having pinned down the British in the peninsula, and with no mass-escape possible due to the presence of the French fleet that patrolled the deep waters nearby, the Americans forced Cornwallis to fight or to surrender -- and without hope of being resupplied, as there were no land- or sea-routes available that were not contested.
