Griffin serves as the primary landmark on this Bowman County map, situated along the path of Us-12 as it cuts through the southwestern North Dakota landscape. The terrain is defined by its drainage systems and notable elevations, particularly the Medicine Pole Hills rising in the southwest. A network of sectional roads, including 153rd Ave SW and 83rd St SW, provides access to the surrounding agricultural land. The area is marked by several seasonal and permanent waterways that drain the high plains, including the headwaters and branches of Spring Cr, Cold Turkey Cr, and Alkali Cr. This 2014 survey documents the modern layout of rural infrastructure, showing how these corridors still follow the original survey lines and geographical contours established by early ranching and farming pioneers in the region.
