About this map

Griffin and Bakertown anchor this 2010 topographic survey of the Adirondack wilderness, where the East Branch Sacandaga River carves a path through a landscape of named peaks and water bodies. The settlement pattern is sparse, with small clusters like Windfall and Pine Orchard appearing amidst significant terrain features such as Steve Bigle Mountain and Georgia Mountain. The map details the hydrology of the region, from the dramatic Auger Falls to the quiet reaches of Wilcox Lake and New Lake.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the geography of 19th-century timber and sugar production through landmarks like Girards Sugarbush. The network of creeks, including East Stony Creek and Mill Creek, highlights the importance of water drainage in this highland area. Roadways such as Dorr Rd provide limited access to the backcountry peaks of Spruce Mountain and Cattle Mountain, reflecting the area's continued character as a managed forest and recreational expanse.
