2020 Map of Griffin

About this map

Griffin serves as the central point of interest in this western North Dakota landscape, situated along a transportation corridor that includes both modern routes and the legacy of Old Hwy 12. The terrain is defined by the prominent Medicine Pole Hills in the southwest, rising above a network of seasonal watercourses. Drainage for the region is provided by several distinct streams, including the eastward-flowing Spring Cr, the winding Cold Turkey Cr, and the headwaters of E Fork Deep Cr. The map details a typical High Plains section-line road grid, where routes like 153rd Ave SW and Griffin Rd provide access to the expansive ranching and farming tracts that characterize Bowman County. This survey effectively documents the intersection of rural infrastructure and the natural topography of the Missouri Plateau.
