About this map

Belgrade Lakes and the surrounding Kennebec County shoreline are defined by the intricate relationship between water and elevated terrain in this early 21st-century landscape. The village of Belgrade Lakes sits narrowly between Great Pond and Long Pond, while to the west, the settlements of Vienna and Mount Vernon are anchored by their respective mill-era waterworks, including the Mill Pond Dam and Flying Pond Dam. The topographical character is marked by significant rises such as McGaffey Mountain, John Brown Mountain, and Mount Philip, which overlook a complex network of brooks and ponds.

Local infrastructure is represented by the Mount Vernon Airport and a dense collection of private roads and estates, such as Jorgensons Ests and Granite Ests, showing modern development patterns around the water. Islands like Castle Island, Loon Island, and Frink Island populate the larger water bodies, illustrating the region's long-standing appeal as a summer retreat and residential destination.
