In New Hampshire, locations, grants, purchases, and townships (which are different from towns) are unincorporated portions of a county which are not part of any town and have limited self-government (if any, as many are uninhabited).
The grant is bounded by the Maine border to the east, Atkinson and Gilmanton Academy Grant to the north, Dix's Grant to the west, and Wentworth's Location to the south. One of the other contemporaneous "Dartmouth" grants was to the north of Dixville but was annexed as the eastern end of Clarksville.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the grant has a total area of 41.7 square miles (108.0 km²), of which 41.6 sq mi (107.7 km²) is land and 0.1 sq mi (0.3 km²), or 0.12%, is water. The highest point is a 2,840-foot (870 m) knoll just west of Mount Tucker.
