Upon arriving at the junction where Route 5 joins Route 35 in the Western Mountains, you’ll come across a sign telling you that you can get to China and Peru by heading north, and that Norway is just 15 miles away. You may arrive at the conclusion that the residents of Lynchville, Maine, are bad at geography. You would be wrong.
The sign is alternately referred to as "Maine’s Famous Signpost," "the World Traveler Signpost" and "the World Places Sign," but none of those names are entirely accurate. It may indeed be Maine’s most famous signpost, but that’s not saying much. And it does point you in the direction of several world places—just not the places you’re thinking of. Because China, Peru and Norway—along with Denmark and Sweden—are the names of Maine towns.
