1982 Map of Belgrade Lakes

About this map

Long Pond and Great Pond dominate the landscape of the Kennebec County lakelands, where 20th-century development centered around the narrow isthmus of Belgrade Lakes. This 1982 provisional survey illustrates a transition from timber-heavy terrain to a recreational and residential corridor. Local settlements like Rome Corner and Vienna are depicted alongside inland landmarks such as Vienna Mountain and McGaffey Mountain, while the Mount Vernon Airport reflects the modernization of rural accessibility. The map preserves the names of numerous family-linked features like McIntire Pond, Berry Hill, and Morrill Hill, providing a detailed view of property and terrain before late-century expansion. Researchers will find interest in the scattered rural architecture noted by labels such as Rome Sch and various Cem locations that mark the early footprint of these Maine townships.
