2013 Map of Griffin

About this map

Griffin sits at the confluence where Extract Brook and Towers Brook meet the E Br Sacandaga River, marking a focal point in this mountainous landscape of the Adirondacks. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and hills, including Steve Bigle Mtn, New Lake Mtn, and Cattle Mtn, which frame the many drainages and small settlements. The map illustrates the isolated character of communities like Windfall and Bakertown, connected by rural routes such as Harrisburg Rd and Teachout Rd. Water is central to the area's geography, from the dramatic Auger Falls to the expansive Wilcox Lake. This survey captures the relationship between established upland settlements like Girards Sugarbush and the complex network of brooks and outlets, such as New Lake Outlet and Wilcox Outlet, that navigate the varying elevations.
