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.
