Bisected by Maine Route 214 connecting Pembroke and Meddybemps, Charlotte is bounded on the east by the Dennys River.

At Blanchard Corner on Route 214, both Round Lake and Pennamaquam Lake are accessible by the road leading eastward. According to Eckstorm, the Indian word Pennamaquam in its various forms essentially refers to a maple ridge as a source for maple syrup.
