I think the only worthwhile target in Maine outside of the ones you listed would be the VLF towers in Cutler. Not sure how much they're used, though.
Edit: apparently quite a bit

You don’t need to nuke VLF Cutler to destroy it.
In the winter they routinely have to pump additional power into the antenna arrays to keep them de-iced.
A conventional bomb or missile hitting one of the antenna towers or the control building would take down the whole operation.
