2014 Map of Griswold

About this map

Saint Croix Stream flows through the heart of this Aroostook County landscape, serving as a central geographic corridor between the small settlements of Griswold and Blackwater. The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and scattered upland peaks like Pollard Mtn and Picard Hill, with numerous small bodies of water such as Cranberry Pond, Hall Pond, and Matherson Pond dotting the map. This 2014 survey captures the region's character as a managed timber and recreational landscape, where a network of gravel roads including Black Water Rd and Griswald Rd provides access to remote interior points. In the northwest corner, the community of Masardis sits near the junction of Masardis Rd, while State Hwy 11 cuts through the southwest, marking the primary transit route through this part of the Maine woods. The map highlights a quiet interior economy based on the seasonal flow of the streams and the accessibility of its brooks and ponds.
