SITE LOCATOR FOR MAl E, VERMONT NEW HAMPSHIRE GHOST TOWNS OLD FORTS BATTLEFIELDS TREASURE BEACHES GATHERING SWIMMING HOLES OVER 390 SITES IDENTIFIED AND ACCURATELY LOCATED ALL YOU NEED IS A ROAD MAP YOUR METAL DETECTOR DISCLAIMER While every attempt is made to maintain accuracy, the authors, GOLDDIGGER and Mosquito Publications assume no responsibility or liability for inaccurate, incorrect or Missing information. It is recommended that the user of this product perform his/her Own research to further increase the knowledge of a site. We strongly recommend that permission of the owner of any site be obtained prior to a search. FEDERAL LAWS In addition to the ARPA Laws, an additional Federal law called "Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987" is in effect and is being enforced. This law gives the individual States control over historic shipwrecks lying within 3 miles of the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts and 10 miles off of the Gulf Coast. DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS NOTE: All distance measurements for sites are direct from point A to point B and are NOT road measurements. Distance measurements are taken from the center of one point to the center of the center of the other. Linear measurements are usually accurate to one tenth mile (1/1 oth mile) while Latitude and Longitude coordinates are accurate to one thousandth of one minute, which equates to approximately 30 feet, depending on the accuracy of your GPS. WHAT IS A GHOST TOWN? There have been many inquiries as to how we have determined what establishes the parameters for ghost town status. While the dictionary definition is not satisfactory for our usage, Mosquito Publishing has used the following: That a town or settlement was at one time a thriving and viable community. That it subsequently declined to the point that it was virtually abandoned or deserted. It was a rule of thumb that communities were established on good land. That being the case, even though the original town may have declined to ghost town status, as modern communities expand, they often cover the site of the previous settlement. This occurrence is happening more rapidly as our population expands. The site would still be considered as a ghost town site, even if covered by modern construction and no visible signs of the original town exists. Maine State Law STATE OF MAINE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION BUREAU OF PARKS AND RECREATION 04-059 MAINE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION CHAPTER 1 - RULES FOR STATE PARKS AND HISTORIC SITES The following rules and regulations are established by the Bureau pursuant to the provisions of the "Maine Revised Statutes Annotated," Title 12, Section 602, subsection 3.

    Appendix a Places to Visit and Natural Communities to See There

    Appendix A Places to Visit and Natural Communities to See There his list of places to visit is arranged by biophysical region. Within biophysical regions, the places are listed more or less north-to-south and by county. This list T includes all the places to visit that are mentioned in the natural community profiles, plus several more to round out an exploration of each biophysical region. The list of natural communities at each site is not exhaustive; only the communities that are especially well-expressed at that site are listed. Most of the natural communities listed are easily accessible at the site, though only rarely will they be indicated on trail maps or brochures. You, the naturalist, will need to do the sleuthing to find out where they are. Use topographic maps and aerial photographs if you can get them. In a few cases you will need to do some serious bushwhacking to find the communities listed. Bring your map and compass, and enjoy!
