The Portland metro area is well over 75k, but Portland's barely closer than Boston, and there are large areas of Maine that are more than 3.5 hours from anything. Huge parts of Aroostook don't even really have "towns" per se (which may be why they're not on the list, since it purports to list the most in-the-middle-of-nowhere towns).
