Crow Island, Harpswell, Maine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crow Island is a small island in Casco Bay and part of the town of Harpswell, Maine. Crow Island is notable for being owned in the early 20th century by Joshua Chamberlain, a Civil War hero who went on to serve as governor of Maine.[1]
Crow Island is located in the northern junction of Middle Bay and Merepoint Bay, just north of White Island and Scrag Island. Crow Island totals just over three acres, and is surrounded by extensive mudflats at low tide.[2]
The Maine State Legislature included Crow Island as part of Harpswell in a statute enacted in 1998 that defined the boundaries of Brunswick and Harpswell.[3]
It is one of multiple Casco Bay islands named Crow Island, including two that are part of the island municipality of Long Island.[4]
