Crawford County- is bounded on the east by the territory attached to Portage County (or the line between ranges one and two east) and Richland County, the south by Richland and Grant Counties, on the west by the Mississippi, St. Croix Co. and on the north by St. Croix County and the state of Michigan. Its boundaries may be more accurately described as follows, begin at the mouth of Porcupine river on Lake Pepin, thence up that stream to the first forks, thence by a direct line to the mouth of the Meadow fork of Red Cedar river, thence up said river to Long Lake; thence along the same route to Lac Courtorielle, thence to the nearest point on the west fork of the Montreal river, thence down that stream to the boundary of the Territory, thence eastwardly along said boundary to the line between ranges one and two east, thence south to Richland county, thence west and south by the boundaries of that county to the Wisconsin river, thence down the Wisconsin and up the Mississippi to the beginning. It is probably about two hundred and fifty miles long from north to south and one hundred miles wide in its greatest dimensions;
