1990 Map of Crawford Lake

About this map

Crawford Lake and the East Machias River dominate this interior Washington County landscape, reflecting the glacial geography of eastern Maine. The small settlement of Crawford serves as a focal point among several distinct townships and plantations, including Plantation No 21 and the southern edge of Princeton. Significant topographic detail is captured along the numerous ridges that define the watershed, such as Seavey Ridge, Huntley Ridge, and Cedar Grove Ridge. The water system is particularly complex, featuring a string of interconnected bodies including Pocomoonshine Lake, Upper Mud Lake, and Lower Mud Lake. To the south and east, the map traces the shoreline of Love Lake and the smaller Barrows Lake, connected by winding waterways like Dead Brook and Barrows Stream. This late-century survey documents a region defined by its timber-country hydrology and sparse residential clusters.
