The register behind the map

Dates, sources & coverage.

2020 edition · retrieved October 6, 2026

Tree program ↗Published register ↗

146 records are included in this imported selection. 146 have approximate map points; 0 remain searchable without a marker. Multiple trees can share one town or county point.

Register editions, retrieval dates, and individual measurement dates describe different things. This snapshot does not confirm current tree condition. Approximate map points do not locate individual trees or establish permission to visit.

How this register was selected and mapped

The Maine Forest Service’s Register of Big Trees, downloaded October 6, 2026. The official program still links to the 2020 edition. All 146 table entries are retained, including multiple trees of the same species. The PDF’s original spellings, asterisks, measurements, scores, and last-measured years are preserved. The PDF has no asterisk legend, so symbols are not interpreted as verified national or co-champion designations. Published score discrepancies are flagged in record details.

These records use 65 approximate town and township points. Most come from the Census Bureau’s 2025 County Subdivisions Gazetteer. Bradstreet and Moosehead Junction use Maine GIS township polygon centroids. South Paris is grouped under Paris; “Milton Plantation” uses Milton’s unorganized-territory point; “Bradstreet Twp.” is matched to Bradstreet Twp. Original place names remain on the cards. Counties are added from this official geography, not from the tree register.

The register does not publish addresses, exact tree coordinates, or access permissions. Maine entries therefore do not appear under “Source confirms public access.” A 2020 listing does not establish a tree’s current condition or champion status.

From a record to a relationship

Get to know the trees.

These Library species appear in Maine’s imported register. Explore identification, seasonal observations, and a practice beside a tree. Photographs are species references taken elsewhere. Matches use scientific names without regard to capitalization; botanical synonyms remain separate.
