Termini and Mileage (2006)

Termini
Main alignment: Int of BATH RD, OLD FERRY, Wiscasset to Int of MAIN RD, W SHORE RD, Westport
Mileage
Main alignment: 8.42 miles (total over all segments)

Notes and History
ME 144 as originally designated in 1925 ran between Rangeley at ME 107 (now the junction of ME 4 and ME 16) and North Anson at NEI 20 (later US 201, now US 201A), via Stratton, south of Flagstaff in an arc down to North New Portland, then south and east to North Anson. In 1931, it was cut back to Stratton and the orphaned alignment became part of new route ME 4; after the Maine Great Renumbering, its remaining alignment became part of new route ME 16 and the number lapsed until 1937-8 when it was given to the old stub of ME 107 between Oquossoc and Haines Landing. In 1951 this routing lapsed too when it was assimilated into ME 4 and the number once again lay dormant until 1954 when it was given its present-day routing between US 1 at Wiscasset and the intersection of Main and Shore Rds near the tip of Westport Island. Per Eric Bryant, there is no signage past the bridge onto Westport Island heading to its southern terminus.
