Figure 6. A geologic map of the middle segment of Wells Beach between Casino Point and a headland near Bucklin Rock. This map by Hussey (1970) represents conditions after erosion by storms in 1969. The exposed ice-age Presumpscot Formation, just below Casino Point, reveals how thin the modern beach sand deposits are. (Modified from Figure 3 of Hussey, 1970.)
