2024 Map of Rome

About this map

Rome and the surrounding Belgrade Lakes region are defined by an intricate network of waterways and peninsula settlements. This landscape is shaped by significant water bodies including Great Pond, North Pond, and East Pond, which are punctuated by numerous named islands such as Pine Island and Loon Island. The map reveals a high density of local heritage sites, particularly small family and community burying grounds like Tuttle Cem, Chute Cem, and the Whitehouse Cem. These sites, often located near historic farmsteads or along older road alignments like Rome Rd and Smithfield Rd, provide a window into the generations of families that settled this area between the Kennebec and Somerset county lines.
