Geographically located in the center of Sussex County, Frankford Township encompasses 34.8 square miles of scenic land. Culver Lake and Lake Owassa, two natural lakes nestled below the Kittatinny Mountain, form the border on the north end. Ross' Corner, the very busy intersection of Routes 206, 15 and 565 has views of the mountain from the southern entrance to the township.
