The State of Maine represents nearly one-half of the total land area of the six New England states. It is the state farthest northeast and is the closest point in the United States to the European continent. The easternmost point of land on the Atlantic Coast is Maine's West Quoddy Head.
Maine is the only one of the forty-eight contiguous states to border only one other state.
It is bounded by the State of New Hampshire, the Canadian Provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick, and the Atlantic Ocean. Aroostook County is 6,453 square miles. That's bigger than the combined size of Rhode Island and Connecticut. Acadia National Park is the second most visited national park in the United States. The coat of arms of the State of Maine is placed on a blue field of the same shade of blue in the flag of the United States.
