2011 Map of Rome

About this map

Great Pond and East Pond anchor this detailed study of the Maine lakes region, where the town of Rome sits among a landscape defined by glacial hills and interconnected waterways. The 2011 survey reveals a complex network of seasonal and year-round roads, including Horse Point Rd and Taylor Woods Rd, serving numerous lakeside points and islands. Historically significant sites such as the Whitehouse Cemetery and the industrial marker of Ellis Pond Dam provide anchor points for local history research. The presence of North Belgrade Station and North Belgrade along the southeastern shore of Great Pond indicates the area's long-standing role as a recreational and residential hub. Notable terrain features like Foss Hill, Mosher Hill, and Bickford Hill rise between the basins of North Pond and Messalonskee Lake, illustrating the varied topography that has shaped the settlement patterns of Kennebec and Somerset counties.
