Located in Sussex County, Sandyston Township is a township with a clearly defined local character. The township occupies a broad rural area in northwestern Sussex County along the Delaware River and the Kittatinny Mountains. Stokes State Forest, wooded ridges, streams, farms, and small communities dominate the landscape. Route 206 provides the main north-south connection, linking the township with Branchville, Milford, Newton, and recreation areas across the Delaware Water Gap region. Sussex County occupies the northwestern corner of New Jersey and is defined by the Kittatinny Mountains, Highlands, lakes, farms, forests, and small boroughs. Its communities are generally lower in density than those farther east, while Routes 23, 94, and 206 provide access to regional centers and neighboring states. The result is a community that retains its own identity while benefiting from the transportation, employment, and cultural resources of the larger county.
