A glacial cirque called "Crocker Cirque" is located between the main summit and the lower summit of South Crocker Mountain. Crocker Cirque contains a small pond and can be reached via the Appalachian Trail.

Brooks on the east side of Crocker Mountain feed the

Dead River, another tributary of the Kennebec. The southwest side of Crocker drains into Nash Stream, then into the South Branch
of the Dead River.
