2010 Map of Griffin

About this map

Henrys Chapel and the small rural crossroads of Blackjack and Concord anchor this Cherokee County landscape, reflecting a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural settlement. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Bridge Creek, Campground Creek, and Sampson Creek, which carve through the countryside. For those researching local history, the placement of the Knoxville Cemetery, Sanders Cemetery, and Griffin Cemetery provides essential geographic markers for ancestral families. The rural infrastructure of the early 21st century is well-documented here, showing the transition between farm roads and more established routes like Bell Church Rd. The map reveals the persistence of these community identifiers, from the northern boundary near Barrons Lake down to the southern settlement of Emmaus, preserving the locations of namesake landmarks and small-scale water features like Piney Branch and Boggy Branch.
