Townships in Maine fall under LURC, just like the Plantations, Gores, etc. that are listed here such as Hibberts Gore, Matinicus Plantation, etc. Some townships are listed, such as Mussel Ridge, Louds Island, etc., while a slew of others are not.

New England county government has no jurisdiction over land except to have a sheriff department enforcing state law. In Rhode Island, Connecticut, and half of Massachusetts, the counties have been outright abolished as an added nonsense layer of government. Generally, land not officially called a "city" is disregarded by the Census Bureau as being a legitimate entity for population statistics.
