I've never been that way before, does it still feel "New Englandy"? Village churches, stone walls, that type of stuff?
In my mind I break down VT, NH and southern half of Maine as Northern New England, and above that is Northern Maine. It just appears to be its own world, but I've never been there, all speculation. Either that or VT, NH and southern half of Maine is Central New England, and Northern Maine gets the sole title of Northern New England. Of course this is all breaking it down from the common VT, NH and ME making up Northern New England.
