 '''Township groups.&nbsp;''' Some counties of Maine list their townships within larger geographic locations ''such as&nbsp;'' [[Washington County, Maine|East Central Washington]], [[Oxford County, Maine|North Oxford]], or [[Somerset County, Maine|Seboomook Lake]]. Moreover, in some counties, a few of the townships are split into two of the groupings (as shown on such counties' FamilySearch Wiki maps by a bright-green line).
-'''Other unorganized territories.&nbsp;''' In addition to being labelled a township, sometimes an unorganized territory of Maine may instead be called a gore, grant, island, patent, purchase, strip, surplus, territory, or tract. Such units are similar to a township in their lack of government, and lack of organized record-keeping.

 '''Plantations.&nbsp;''' Nevertheless, in Maine plantations are between towns and townships in their level of government organization. For examples of Maine plantations and their records, see [[Coplin, Maine|Coplin]], [[Matinicus Isle, Maine|Matinicus Isle]], or [[Monhegan, Maine|Monhegan]].
