Montague Township is a township in Sussex County, located in northwestern New Jersey near the New York and Pennsylvania borders. The township occupies New Jersey’s far northwestern corner along the Delaware River, with extensive forest, mountain terrain, and widely spaced rural neighborhoods. Sussex County is defined by the Kittatinny Mountains, Highlands, lakes, forests, farms, and small boroughs set within a generally lower-density landscape. Outdoor recreation, agriculture, historic villages, lake communities, local institutions, and residential development all contribute to the county’s distinctive rural character. Routes 23, 94, and 206 provide the principal connections between local communities and larger employment and commercial centers to the south and east. Montague Township maintains its own municipal identity while its neighborhoods and local destinations remain closely connected with the wider Sussex area.
