About this map

Belgrade Lakes sits at the narrowist point between the massive Great Pond and Long Pond, a geography that has defined the region's development for over a century. The surrounding highlands are dominated by significant peaks such as McGaffey Mtn, Vienna Mtn, and Mt Philip, which create a complex drainage system feeding into basins like McIntire Pond and Kimball Pond. This modern survey details the transition from the village center at Vienna near Mill Pond to the high ridges of the western Kennebec County border.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic burial grounds, including Brookside Cem and the Vienna Town Cem, which anchor the early settlement patterns of the area. The map illustrates how local routes like Augusta Rd and Rome Rd follow the natural contours of the glaciated terrain, connecting crossroads like Rome Corner with the recreational and residential hubs along the island-dotted shorelines of Castle Island and Big Island.
