Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the grant has a total area of 19.5 square miles (50.5 km2), of which 19.4 square miles (50.2 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km2) or 0.58%, is covered by water.[3] The highest point is an unnamed ridge that reaches 2,620 feet (800 m) above sea level near the grant's southwestern corner.

The grant boundaries shown in 1874 maps differ from those of 1850s maps by showing a parcel of ungranted "state land" on the western edge of this grant (and north of Dix's Grant), and another "Dartmouth College Grant" to the west of that (later annexed to the eastern edge of Clarksville).
