It lies at an elevation of 700 meters (2,300 ft), along the BC Rail tracks.
The settlement gives the name to the Montney Formation, a gas-bearing geological unit first described in a well located north-west of the hamlet.
The name of the town is an Anglicized form of a Canadian Indian name. The fact that the name is spelled the same as the Montney family name is purely coincidental.
