The Maxwell Group logo, as seen on the website
The Maxwell Group is a company to which reference is made in the second Lost alternate reality game Find 815. The website for The Maxwell Group is The-Maxwell-Group.com.
The URL was discovered in an email to Sam Thomas from a unknown sender. The page features username and password login boxes placed over a picture of a horizontally inverted compass. On the compass, east is in the position for west and west is in the position for east. Upon login with no username or password, the following text is displayed:

James Maxwell
On Sam's desktop, a website dealing with the Sunda Trench originally also pictured a bearded man that was soon after removed. (Find 815 clues/January 2) Gamers discovered this was a picture of James Clerk Maxwell.

James Clerk Maxwell (13 June 1831 – 5 November 1879) was a Scottish mathematician and theoretical physicist. His most significant achievement was aggregating a set of equations in electricity, magnetism and inductance — Maxwell's equations — including an important modification of Ampère's Circuital Law. It was the most unified model of electromagnetism yet. It is famous for introducing to the physics community a detailed model of light as an electromagnetic phenomenon, building upon the earlier hypothesis advanced by Faraday (Faraday Effect). |

Trivia

The Maxwell Group logo when lighting is adjusted (note the snake-like image)
- In the background compass logo, under the number 2, there should be 60°, but there is 75°.
- The inner compass is reversed. East and west are switched, as are all of the ordinal points and other principal points (SE, SW, NNE, etc). In astronomical maps, east and west are always reversed, since one's viewing perspective is mirrored, i.e. looking up instead of down.
- There is a dim image of something like a rolled snake or spiral in the middle of the compass.
- The entire The Maxwell Group website is located at the Find815 servers: http://www.find815.com/TMG/
