The township is bordered by the borough of Lehighton to the northeast and by Schuylkill County to the southwest. It is situated near the northeastern end of the Mahoning Hills,〔Robert Muldrow, et al., USGS topographic maps, 1922 survey, (Lehighton-Mauch Chunk Quadrangle ), and other maps in the series or of 1893 showing the region around Lehighton, Pennsylvania and Mauch Chunk (Jim Thorpe).〕 the mountainous foothills region to the west of the Lehigh River.
