Yes, there is a geographic extent to an easement, a license, and a restrictive covenant.

An easement is a legal right to use someone else's property for a specific purpose. The geographic extent of an easement refers to the specific area or portions of the property that the easement applies to. For example, a right of way easement may grant access to a neighboring property through a specific pathway or road.

A license is a permission or authority given by the owner of a property to another person to do something on that property. The geographic extent of a license would determine where the licensed activity can take place. For instance, a license to fish in a specific lake would only allow fishing within the boundaries of that lake.

A restrictive covenant is a contractual agreement that limits the use or development of a property. The geographic extent of a restrictive covenant would define the specific area or property that is subject to the restrictions. For example, a restrictive covenant may prohibit certain types of construction within a specific neighborhood or subdivision.

In terms of whether the limit of the geographic extent constitutes a boundary, it depends on the specific circumstances and legal agreements involved. The limit of the geographic extent can define a boundary between the rights of the party granted the easement or license and the property owner or other parties affected by the restrictive covenant. However, it does not necessarily imply a physical boundary in all cases.
