Bounded on the east by the county of Yarrol; on the south by the county of Newcastle; on the west by the eastern watershed of the Dawson River; and on the north by the south boundaries of Knockbreak Lease, Calrossie Resumption, Culcragie Lease, part of Culcragie Resumption, and by the north boundary of Eidsvold Resumption.
