About this map

Messalonskee Lake and Great Pond dominate this landscape north of Augusta, where a network of seasonal roads and small settlements define the Kennebec County interior. The area around Belgrade is characterized by its numerous small water bodies, including Stuart Pond, Joe Pond, and Gould Pond, interspersed with low-lying wetlands like Austin Bog. Local history is preserved in a dense collection of small burial grounds such as Sawtelle Cem, Friends Cem, and Woodside Cem, many located near the shores of the larger lakes.

Transportation patterns reflect a mix of aviation and rural transit, anchored by Sunny Hill Airport and a grid of fire roads like Fire Rd 02 and Fire Rd 5. To the east, the terrain rises toward Quaker Hill and Ricker Hill before descending into the Great Sidney Bog. This survey documents a region where the recreational draw of Bangs Beach and island-dotted waters like Birch Island and Greeley Island coexist with active small-scale infrastructure and historic family sites.
