Pequannock Township lies in northeastern Morris County and includes the communities of Pequannock and Pompton Plains. The township occupies a broad valley near the Pompton, Pequannock, and Passaic river systems, with wooded hills rising toward Kinnelon and Wayne. Route 23 is the main regional highway, while Newark-Pompton Turnpike and local roads connect the municipality with Lincoln Park, Riverdale, Pompton Lakes, and Fairfield. Residential neighborhoods, schools, parks, medical facilities, small businesses, and shopping areas are distributed across the township. Historic homes and older village patterns remain visible in Pompton Plains, while later suburban development extends toward Route 23. River corridors and floodplains influence the local landscape and have shaped development over time. Pequannock Township's position near the Morris-Passaic county line gives residents convenient access to employment and commercial centers in both counties while preserving a recognizable suburban community identity.
