2024 Map of Griffin

About this map

Griffin serves as a central point of reference in this southwestern North Dakota landscape, situated along a transportation corridor defined by Old Hwy 12 and the railroad. The terrain is marked by the drainage patterns of several intermittent waterways, including Spring Creek, Gold Turkey Creek, and Alkali Creek, which have carved subtle relief into the prairie. The section lines of the Public Land Survey System, such as those defining t132n r103w and t131n r103w, dictate the modern road grid. Local routes like Griffin Rd and 153rd Ave SW provide access to the surrounding agricultural sections, reflecting a land use pattern focused on large-scale ranching or farming common to Bowman County.
