Figure 3. In 1974 construction of the OG-1 dike replaced the natural dunes with a linear ridge built of sand scraped from the flood-tidal delta in the Ogunquit River and sand from the beach profile. Close examination shows a bulldozer at work on the beach. A network of roads to move sand appears in the back dunes along the river.
