A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation â Reflections on the Revolution in France]
Maine is both the northernmost state in New England and the largest, accounting for almost half the region's entire land area. Maine is the only state to border only one other state (New Hampshire to the west).
In the U.S. state of Maine, U.S. Route 1 (US 1) is a major northâsouth state highway serving the eastern part of the state. It parallels the Atlantic Ocean from New Hampshire north through Portland, Brunswick, and Belfast to Calais, and then the St. Croix River and the rest of the CanadaâUS border via Houlton to Fort Kent.
