This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Griffin, Quebec. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Canada Base Map from Natural Resources Canada with Toporama contours layered over it — the CanVec topographic data behind the printed NTS sheets, and the mapping used for hiking, hunting, canoe routes and back-country travel. Relief shows shaded relief and hypsometric tints. The search box finds any Canadian town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Griffin.
Reading the map like a paper NTS sheet. Click Grid to overlay the UTM grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass — which matters in Canada, where declination runs from about 20 degrees west in Newfoundland to 20 degrees east in the Yukon.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what Canadian search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Griffin is a hamlet in Ogden; Memphrémagog, Quebec, Canada. It is classified as a village / hamlet. Griffin is located at 45.0539°N, 72.1692°W.
Griffin occupies a quiet, secluded pocket of the Colline Miller, where the earth rises in firm, granite-shouldered ridges that seem to hold the light long after the sun has slipped behind the western slope. It lies 23.5 km south of Magog, QC (from Magog, QC: bearing 184°T), and is situated 15.6 km south-west of Ayer's Cliff. The air here carries a distinct, sharp clarity, especially when the evening cool descends to settle against the flanks of the hills, cooling the stones and darkening the shadows of the timber stands. Nearby, Lac Crystal reflects the sky in a stillness that feels heavy and watchful, while the more distant rush of the Rivière Niger and the persistent, low-frequency hum of Chutes Burroughs remind one that the landscape is defined by the slow, inevitable movement of water through stone. History in Griffin is measured in the stubborn persistence of local agriculture and the quiet endurance of those who first cleared these rocky clearings to make a life. The economy stays grounded in the land, defined by small-scale operations that respect the uneven, challenging terrain, far removed from the bustle of urban centers like the distant Parc national du Mont-Orford. Modern life in Griffin moves with a deliberate, steady focus, favoring the practical demands of the season over the frantic pace of elsewhere. In the quiet hours, when the work is finished, one can sense the deep, ancestral patience of the soil, a quality that persists in the way the fences are mended and the fields are kept, ensuring that Griffin retains a character entirely its own.
Griffin s’étire sur les pentes de la Colline Miller, là où le relief ondule avec une douceur qui semble retenir la lumière déclinante du soir. Ce paysage, façonné par les travaux agricoles qui ont jadis dicté le rythme des jours, conserve une sobriété austère, à peine troublée par le murmure lointain de la Rivière Niger. À mesure que l'ombre gagne les vallons, la terre exhale une fraîcheur singulière, rappelant la proximité du Lac Crystal, dont les eaux calmes semblent absorber le silence environnant. Non loin, les Chutes Burroughs ponctuent le silence d’un écho régulier, tandis que le Parc national du Mont-Orford dessine une ligne sombre et protectrice à l'horizon. Griffin demeure ainsi, dans ce repli géographique, porté par une quiétude que seul le vent de Memphrémagog sait agiter. Chaque sentier qui sillonne ces terres témoigne de l'effort des premiers défricheurs, dont la ténacité a laissé sur les hauteurs une allure de quiétude pérenne. Ici, l’air est chargé d'une humidité légère, cette essence même des terres hautes, où le temps semble suspendre son vol devant la silhouette immobile des bois et des champs qui entourent Griffin.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Canadian town, county or landmark by name; offers the Canada Base Map with Toporama contours and shaded relief as base layers; overlays a labelled UTM grid so the map can be read like a printed NTS sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a UTM/MGRS grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data for Griffin is sourced from the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGN), Natural Resources Canada, and verified by coordinates rather than name matching alone. GPS coordinates, province, administrative location and place type are shown in the information panel above.
