2011 Map of Ellis Pond

About this map

Ellis Pond and its neighbor Little Ellis Pond form the geographic center of this Maine landscape, where the waters of the Ellis River and Swift River drain the surrounding peaks. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Pleasant Mountain and Old Turk Mountain, while French Island sits prominently within the larger pond. Early 21st-century settlement patterns are concentrated in the villages of Andover and Byron, with recreational and access routes like Shore Dr and Roxbury Pond Rd skirting the water. For local history, the map preserves the locations of the Stockbridge Cemetery, West Byron Cemetery, and Andover Cemetery. Natural landmarks like Coos Canyon and Silver Ripple Cascade highlight the area's sharp relief, while a network of fire lanes suggests the managed timber and wilderness access of the Oxford County interior.
