2011 Map of Crawford Lake

About this map

The Crawford settlement serves as the primary hub for this interior landscape in eastern Maine, where the vast waters of Crawford Lake dominate the central terrain. The map details a complex hydrologic network of interconnected lakes and streams, including the winding Maine River and the secluded Pocomoonshine Lake along the northern boundary. This drainage system was managed for local industry and water control, evidenced by infrastructure like the Pokey Dam and the Barrows Lake Dam. For genealogists and local historians, the Old Crawford Cemetery remains a significant landmark near the center of the township. The road network, including the aptly named Pokey Rd and Mud Lake Rd, provides access across the prominent Cedar Grove Ridge and Seavey Ridge, illustrating the relationship between the high ground and the extensive marshy lowlands of the East Machias River watershed.
