==Geography==
Meldal Municipality was located along the [[Orkla River]] in the middle of the [[Orkdalen]] valley. The lakes [[Hostovatnet]] and [[Svorksjøen]] were located along the northern border of the municipality. The highest point in the municipality was the {{convert|1162|m|adj=on}} tall mountain Resfjellet, near the border with [[Rindal Municipality]].<ref name="elev" />

There were five municipalities that bordered Meldal: [[Rindal Municipality]] to the west, [[Rennebu Municipality]] to the south, [[Midtre Gauldal Municipality]] and [[Melhus Municipality]] to the east, and [[Orkdal Municipality]] to the north.

The [[Løkken Station]] was the [[terminal station]] on the historic [[Thamshavn Line]] railway that used to travel through the municipality.
