In New Hampshire, locations, grants, townships (which are different from towns), and purchases are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the grant has a total area of 11.3 square miles (29.3 km2), all land other than streams.[1] The grant encompasses the valley of the Dry River, a south-flowing tributary of the Saco River. The east and west boundaries roughly parallel the river, each approximately one mile distant. The Dry River enters the valley of the Saco River in Crawford Notch at the southern end of the township, and the northern end is below Oakes Gulf on the southern slopes of Mount Washington. The highest point in Cutt's Grant is its northeastern corner, located just south of Gulf Peak on a southeast spur of Mount Washington, where the elevation reaches 4,720 feet (1,440 m) above sea level.
