2018 Map of Griswold

About this map

Saint Croix Stream anchors this remote northern landscape, winding past the settlements of Masardis, Griswold, and Blackwater in central Aroostook County. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways and wetlands, including Cranberry Pond, Hall Pond, and Otter Pond, which serve as natural landmarks amidst the low-lying timberlands. The local infrastructure is oriented toward the river valleys, with Black Water Rd and Griswold Rd tracing the paths of the Blackwater River and its tributaries. To the west, the elevation rises toward Pollard Mtn, while Picard Hill stands to the east, providing topographical relief to the marshy plains. This 2018 survey reveals a territory where modern roadways such as Co Rd 12 and Co Rd 15 follow historic settlement patterns, maintaining connectivity between isolated outposts like Hawkins and the surrounding wilderness.
