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).
The purchase is named for Clovis Lowe of Jefferson and Barker Burbank of Shelburne, who purchased land from the state in 1832.[3]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the grant has a total area of 26.1 square miles (67.7 km2), of which 0.3 acres (1,335 m2), or 0.002%, are water.[1]
The grant is in the northern White Mountains, on the northern slopes of the Presidential Range and on the Dartmouth Range. Summits in the grant include Mt. Sam Adams—at 5,584 feet (1,702 m) above sea level, the highest point in the grant—and Mt. Madison, elevation 5,367 feet (1,636 m).
