2021 Map of Belgrade

About this map

Messalonskee Lake and Great Pond dominate the northern portion of this Kennebec County landscape, framing the peninsula where the settlement of Belgrade is situated. The terrain is a complex assembly of water and wetlands, including Austin Bog and Great Sidney Bog, which influenced the placement of early roads and cemeteries. A significant concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Woodside Cem and Friends Cem, are clustered near Sunny Hill Airport, reflecting generations of local residency. To the south, the village of Summerhaven lies near the headwaters of Sidney Bog Brook, while the municipal boundary of Augusta enters the sheet at the southern edge. The map captures a transition from lakefront recreation at Bangs Beach to the rural highlands of Quaker Hill and Lord Hill, illustrating how the region's glacial geography dictated its late-twentieth-century development pattern.
