This page covers the Crawford County GIS map: the official link, what each part of the parcel record tells you, and which Pennsylvania land records to pull when the map isn't enough.
The sections below cover the map itself, the towns from Cochranton to Conneaut Lakeshore, and the deeds and surveys that settle what the map can't.

Land records: deeds, plats and parcel data
For land near Meadville, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. Recording offices go by different titles from state to state, including register of deeds, recorder, county clerk and clerk of court; the official Crawford County website names the one that handles deeds. If the Crawford County parcel record shows an instrument number, that number is the shortcut to the recorded deed.
Getting oriented in Crawford County
Most of the platted lots cluster in and around Meadville (the county seat) and Titusville, Blooming Valley, Cambridge Springs, and Centerville. You'll also find unincorporated communities, among them Adamsville, Atlantic, and Canadohta Lake. Organized in 1800, and named for William Crawford, Crawford County has a long paper trail, and early deeds may cite landmarks that no longer exist. Roughly 82,001 people (Census Bureau, 2023) share Crawford County's 1,012 square miles of land. Neighborhood lots cluster near Cambridge Springs, while the countryside toward Conneaut Lakeshore still holds larger parcels. Waterfront and bottomland parcels near Pymatuning Reservoir deserve a second look at the flood layer. Erie National Wildlife Refuge and Pymatuning State Park are a big draw, and the private tracts that border public land are often the first ones hunters and cabin buyers ask about.
Who needs this map
- Relocating buyers who can't visit Cambridge Springs in person use the map and aerial layer to size up a lot from a distance.
- Builders bidding a house on a lot in Cambridge Springs start with the parcel ID and legal description, since permit paperwork usually asks for both.
- First-time land buyers near Conneaut Lakeshore use the map to find unbuilt tracts and contact owners directly.
Acreage and vacant lot search
A practical way to find vacant parcels near Centerville:
- With imagery on, zoom to the edge of Centerville where subdivisions give way to open ground.
- Open the record for each empty tract near Centerville and note whether the owner's mailing address is outside Crawford County.
- Size up price by comparing a few similar tracts around Centerville on the assessment records.
- Confirm legal access. In Crawford County, as anywhere, a parcel with no road frontage depends on an easement.
- Before you sign for land near Titusville, check what the local planning and health offices will allow on it.
What the Crawford County GIS map shows about lot lines
On rural tracts near Conneaut Lakeshore, the parcel lines can drift from the fences on the ground, sometimes by more than a few feet. Pennsylvania is a metes-and-bounds state. Rural deeds in Crawford County describe boundaries with bearings, distances and landmarks rather than a square grid, so parcel lines are often irregular. Planning a fence or shed on a lot in Cochranton? Have a Pennsylvania licensed surveyor mark the corners first.
Two things the map won't tell you
A lot in Titusville that sold last month may still show the previous owner on the map. Treat Crawford County acreage figures as estimates until a survey confirms them.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
