In the words of Enumerator Joseph H. Wardwell in the enumeration of Township 3, Second Range, before this one: "Township No. 3 - 2d Range, Lying North from No. 8".
The area lying north of Byron coincides with Rangeley Plantation and Rangeley, both formed from townships that included Township 3, Second Range. Rangeley Plantation and Rangeley were part of the Bingham Kennebec Purchase, not the Abbot Purchase, and are both in Franklin County, since 1838.
