Figure 6. In this 1977 photo the completed OG-1 dike is visible. It is a uniformly linear ridge covered with vegetation. A footpath on the Ogunquit River side of the dike can be seen. The flood-tidal delta in the river has grown in height since 1974 with sand most likely transported into the inlet from the beach and ebb-tidal delta (shoal) at the river mouth.
