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).
Geography
The grant occupies the center of Pinkham Notch, a major pass in the White Mountains. The elevation at the height of land in the notch is 2,032 feet (619 m) above sea level, while the highest point in the grant is 3,050 feet (930 m), along Wildcat Ridge on the grant's eastern boundary. New Hampshire Route 16 passes through the grant as it traverses the notch; the highway leads north to Gorham and south to North Conway. The Appalachian Trail crosses the grant through Pinkham Notch.
