Grant Boundaries
The natural lake in what is now Los Gatos Creek Park was on the Eastern boundary. San Tomas Aquino Creek flowed around the Western and Northwestern edges. Ross Creek was in the Southeast. The boundaries, denoted with modern landmarks, were:
- The Northwestern and Western boundary followed San Tomas Aquino Creek from John D. Morgan Park, North of Westmont High School, and along Quito Road & Austin Way
- The Western corner was near where San Tomas Aquino Creek meets Canon Drive
- The Southwestern boundary roughly parallels State Route 9 about 0.75 miles to its Southwest
- The Southwest corner was near the Santa Cruz Avenue exit of State Route 17
- The Southeast corner was near where Kennedy Road crosses Ross Creek
- The Eastern corner was near the corner of Camino del Cerro and Blossom Hill Road
- The Northern boundary was at Rincon Avenue across the North end of John D. Morgan Park in central Campbell

Famous quotes containing the words grant and/or boundaries:
“I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.”
—Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885)
“Not too many years ago, a child’s experience was limited by how far he or she could ride a bicycle or by the physical boundaries that parents set. Today ... the real boundaries of a child’s life are set more by the number of available cable channels and videotapes, by the simulated reality of videogames, by the number of megabytes of memory in the home computer. Now kids can go anywhere, as long as they stay inside the electronic bubble.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
