Excerpt from State of Maine: Fish and Game Laws, Public, Private and Special, Plainly Stated
The State of Maine is the easternmost portion of the United States of America, and lies between 43 deg. 6 min. and 47 degs. 27 min., 33 sec. N. Lat.; between 66 degs. 56 min. 48 sec. and 71 degs. 6 min. 41 sec. W. Lon. The 45th parallel croses the State within 30 miles of its geographical center. This position is almost precisely equidistant betwixt the equator and the pole. In consequence of this position the winds of Maine are variable, not constant like those of the tropics, nor periodical like those of the Indian peninsula. They prevail during the year for a longer or shorter time from every quarter of the compass. The draft rarely prevails from any one compass point for more than two or three days successively, so that the various climatic phases attendant upon change of wind follow one another in rapid succession.
It further results from the geographic postion of the State that rains in Maine are non-periodic. The mean elevation of a country is one of the most difficult of its physical conditions to ascertain.
