Northern Glaciated Shale and Slate Valleys setting.
Crawford town has 40 square miles of land in Orange County. Its Census reference point is in Northern Glaciated Shale and Slate Valleys, within Ridge and Valley.

Crawford and Orange County
Crawford is associated with Orange County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.
Crawford by land and water
The Census records 0.08 square miles of water within Crawford, or 0.2% of its total area. It is 2.9 percentage points lower than the 3.1% recorded for Orange County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.
For scale, Crawford town has 19 times the land area of nearby Pine Bush CDP (2.11 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.
